Avalon

Let me tell you a story, and would you believe
All about a girl I met last Friday evenin'
And her, ability to fly
Just seventeen, they'd turn a shade of green
Envious, oblivious those drama queens
Yeah they, will always have to try
Across the tracks and what she'll never get back
Memories that make it so hard to breathe
Never felt like askin' herself why
It's the oldest tradition
For a Benjamin you won't have to ask her permission
Then she, will make you lose your mind
And he's yearnin', though she's turnin'
So many tricks his heart is burnin' just to
To have her, one more time
And I wonder, if I'm under
Some kind o' spell gonna tear me asunder but we
We can't always fall in line

So where have you gone, my sweet Avalon
Did I steer you wrong all along, babble on
If I sing this song, too long, will you be gone
You're my sweet, my darlin' Avalon

Where have you gone, where have you gone
Where have you gone, where have you gone
I'm so alone, when you're not home
Where oh where, where have you gone

Well now you've heard a story, and did you believe
All about the girl I met on Friday evening and her proclivity to cry
Another year gone, where did she go wrong
How did she get here, she clearly doesn't belong
Yeah she, keeps asking herself why

The men they come in, with their lascivious grins
Her senses surely swirling as she shares in their sins
But there's no feeling in her eyes

So where have you gone, my sweet Avalon
Did I steer you wrong all along, babble on
If I sing this song, too long, will you be gone
You're my sweet, my darlin' Avalon
