Avalon

(ferry)

So it gets to seven
And i think of nothing
But living in darkness
And the diamond lady
Well she´s not telling
I don´t even know her name
It´s amazing
Times have changed
In days of old
Imagination´d leave you standing
Out in the could
Dancing city
Now you´re talking
But where´s your soul
-you´ve a thousand faces
I´ll never know
There are complications
And compensations
If you know the game
Agitated in xenon nightly
I´ll take you home again
Travel way downtown
In search of nothing
But the sky at night
And the diamond lady
Well she´s not talking
But that´s alright
So i turn the pages
And tell the story
From town to town
People tell me
Be determined
Poor country boy
Too much luck
Means too much trouble
Much time alone
But arm in arm
With my seaside diamond
I´ll soon be home

(ferry)

Now the party´s over
I´m so tired
Then i see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion
Avalon
When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background's fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don´t know it
Avalon
When you bossa nova
There´s no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere
Avalon

(ferry)

I could show you in a word
If i wanted to
A window on a world
With a lovely view
From close up inside a single room
With an open book aside
Like you read in school
It´s so easy, believe me
When you need fun
I do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
It´s raining in new york
On fifth avenue
And off broadway after dark
Love the lights don´t you
I could walk you through the park
If you´re feeling blue
Or whatever
Spring summer whenever
Winter through fall
I´d do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
I could leave you as you were
If i wanted to
Then i wonder is it fair
Now you´re on your own
Who cares about you
Except me, god help me
When things go wrong
I do anything to turn you
Must phone me, you know me
When things go wrong
I do anything to turn you on

(ferry)

Look at my hand
There´s a soul on fire
You can lead me even higher
The main thing
Everybody knows
When a good thing´s gone
You can really turn me on
The main thing
You run through here
With your words of sand
I can nearly understand
The main thing

(ferry/mackay)

All of those people
Everywhere
Ever so needing
Where's it all leading
Tell me where
Nothing insincere
I´d better have pity
I´d better go easy
I never will lay down
While my heart is still beating
Where´s it all leading
Walk on air
Am i still dreaming
Words to spare
Lost in their meaning
I´d better be strong now
I´d better stop dreaming
My heart has flown away now
Will it never stop bleeding?
