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 pa**ing 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
