Lyrics: Casia / Michael Turner
Music: Sharpola
Backing Vocals: Tall Paul

AVALON
 
(V1)
The road ahead of me is all too long
If I only knew what was going on
The crystal ball of life tells me I've drowned
I try to run but I'm broken down
 
In the mirror I see I'm fading away
The feeling's slipping but I wanna stay
I try to fight but my strength is gone
I'm weak and weary and I can't go on
I can't go on


(Chorus)
Avalon, Avalon
Lest we forget
A place where men
Swim in regret
Avalon, Avalon
Is where I belong
Where souls are strong
Avalon ... Avalon


(V2)
If I could tell you what went wrong
My feet would climb to the highest of ground
And the flood that is rising on my sea
Would be overcome if you'd rescue me
Rescue Me


When each day's a battle raging on
I dream of final days in Avalon
I see my life, all the things I've done
Remembered when our two hearts
Two hearts were one .. two hears were one


(Chorus)
Avalon, Avalon
Lest we forget
A place where men
Swim in regret
Avalon, Avalon
Is where I belong
Where souls are strong
Avalon ... Avalon
   
 
(Bridge)
Take this pain and heartbreak away
Reset the kindle for another day
And I will wander this feeling away
Into Avalon where I belong
Avalon


(V3)
With friends around me, extending their hands
Why do they slip away like hourglass sands
Oh, this sickness that I never planned
I'd set it free but the flames have been fanned
Have been fanned....have been fanned


(Chorus x2)
Avalon, Avalon
Lest we forget
A place where men
Swim in regret
Avalon, Avalon
Is where I belong
Where souls are strong
Avalon ... Avalon

Very nice Ray. Are the pipes in the beginning supposed to be that low in volume? I thought you had some dead space so I turned it up and then heard the pipes only to almost kill my speakers when the bass drum came in since I cranked it soo high.  ;D 

Like the simple drums on this. Moody  :)

Wow, another great song.

I agree, the intro pipes are way too low IMO ... I did not even notice them at all before you mentioned it. I just thought there was a long introductory silence ... ;)

But other than that: Perfect job!

Regards,

I enjoyed helping out, Ray! I think the simplicity of the arrangement and the way it builds is perfect for the song.
Songwriter, lyricist, vocalist, guitarist... pretty much in that order! :-)

LOL Dave hahah!  I hope you didn't have your headphones on  :).

Ray, can you make that "little" adjustment.  For some reason the bagpipes are low in this version, I can't hear it either...

Beautiful though, I'm going to load it up on IMW and share it with Mike once that change is made.

You're still an inspiration Ray - I'm a fan.

 :)

Wonderful writing, Casia and Michael.

By the way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalon

The song took me here, to the island of Avalon... perfect - perfect - perfect.

Arthur would be proud, brave knights.
