Lyrics Shores of Avalon - James LaBrie

Shores of Avalon

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
