I've been standing in line At terminal nine I'm leaving 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 Oh... oh... ah... ah... (Solo) How i wish there was time For watching the tide But i've been racing with the wind And 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, carry(?) on the deep blue sea Oh... oh... ah... ah... (Solo) All the people i've known These are postered memories I'm leaving them behind But the stories could tell Of the bright stars that fell I'll be joining their past(?) A wave of sadness washes me away Avalon, take me far across the bay Oh... oh... ah... ah... I've been standing in line At terminal nine I'm leaving here today
