Shores of Avalon - James LaBrie

I never saw it coming

somehow the heat of battle

sure dulled my senses to the real world

or was I dreaming?

She held my hand and knew me

She looked right trough all I knew

lie quiet, let the rain wash over me now

inside the royal chambers

She’s staring out her window

tears well hidden by a crimson veil

this is the poison

clutching a Turkish dagger

by the moonlight I feel it begin

I’m wounded, let the pain wash over me now

loneliness again

sits here alongside of me

gotta make my way

to where the waters heal my wounds

I know this is where I’ll stay

too jaded by her deception

a trust i thought to believe

I just wanna rest

live out the best of my days

untill I reach Avalon

lie quiet, let the pain wash away from me now

no beginning or end

all of the roles was pass on through

I looked inside and I saw

my soul’s my guide

I need to walk with you

I know this is where I’ll stay

the world I’ve left behind

has no place in my heart

I can finally rest

and live out the rest of my days

I’ll never leave Avalon
