Avalon

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 this 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

Al 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
