Avalon

We once were together in Avalon
Your Celtic star stole this English rose
You carried me across the amber corn
You carried me across the emerald fields
I gave you my body, all my peaches and cream
In return you gave me gold and rubies
How you would come in on your steed
Wrap your huge arms around me

Raven black and auburn red
Colours intertwined on the meadows bed
In the daffodils and rolling hills
We laid ourselves to rest
From the rugged cliffs and the wild seas
Never had a man been brought to his knees

Take me back, take me back home again
Take me back, back to Avalon
I am lost without her familiar world
I am lost without a place to roam

I long for her winds
I long for her rains
I long for her silver storms
How I long for you there
How I long to be where
My love can linger on

We once were together in Wessexshire
When the winter grew so cold it froze the lake
How you wrapped me in your furs and gave me brandy
How you gave me golden medicine to take

With my stomach growing
The life inside was knowing
I started showing what's to come
With sacred kisses blowing
With crimson cheeks glowing
Ready to give my finger for a ring

Take me back, take me back home again
Take me back, back to Avalon
I am lost without her familiar world
I am lost without a place to roam

I long for her winds
I long for her rains
I long for her silver storms
How I long for you there
How I long to be where
My love can linger on
