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
