AVALON
Music by Mark McCrite, Lyrics by Erik Norlander
©1993, 2007 Waking Dream Music, BMI

I’ve been standin’ in line
At Terminal 9
I’m leavin’ here today
I’ll be rising above the land
And I hope you’ll understand
Why it had to end this way

A wave of sadness washes me away
Avalon, take me far across the bay . . .

I wish there was time for watching the tide
But I’ve been racing with the wind
I’ve been put on the stage
And the passing parade won’t stop to let me by

A wave of sadness washes over me
Avalon, there beyond the deep blue sea . . .

All the people I’ve known
These upholstered memories
I’m leaving them behind
But the stories to tell
Of the bright stars that fell
I’ll be joining them there

A wave of sadness washes me away
Avalon, take me far across the bay ...
