Avalon
All the pretty horses were saddled up for warYou caught my eye as I rode away I never lied to you, love Now I don?t know what for Better be sure before you say, ?Come along, there?s a place in a song we can go? ?Don?t be scared, I?ll be there? I say when I know I won?t Avalon is flooding and blood is on the tide The very one that brought me here saying, ?Come along, there?s a place in a song you can stay? I was so wrong when I thought that you would wait I thought that you would wait I don?t know what to do with love when it?s in my palm I want to sing it like a psalm, want to wrap you in its warmth Shine it on your pillow, rock it back and forth Find the house you were born in, leave it on the steps Bury treasure in it, never to forget Analyze its history, try to find our names Add it up like hours till I?ve been with you for days Save it up, spend it all Answer with it when you call Turn it like a locket key, set your pretty picture free Be the soul it?s sent to save, ride it like an island wave Ask it for the price to pay to leave paradise today Pour it up for two, drink it till the dawn But I crush it like a dead rose in a dying Avalon
