Avalon / The Tide

Backwater silent
A pocket of peace
Driftwood floats by me
With the raging sea

In little glimpses
It comes back to me
Rushing sensations
As they come, they leave

Sometimes I can forget
Sometimes I sing to myself ooh

I will reach your shore, avalon
Nothing matters more, avalon

Where the ocean meets the sky
I know that’s where you lie
In a place where memories wane
As they wash with the tide

Breaker on breaker
Removes every trace
Wish as they might, but even kings can’t
Push back the waves

Sometimes I'm gone for long
Sometimes my nights filled with song
Ooh

I will reach your shore, avalon
Hear your silent call, avalon

‘Cause where the ocean meets the sky
I know that’s where you lie
And I know all things in time
Will wash with the tide

I will reach your shore, avalon
Hundred years or more, avalon

Where the ocean meets the sky
I know that’s where you lie
I will know that I’ve arrived
When I wash with the tide
