Avalon

Lyrics

As the sun comes creeping up the mountain And the wind blows over from the sea Hey, we're brought into this land like tiny particles of sand Unsure of who we're smarter than, or what we're meant to be As the grains sift coarsely through the hourglass And collect like victims in the bowl The ungodly force of change erodes all sense of earthly gains While tending to the mundane will terrorize your soul [Chorus] And it's no, it's no use thinking that you're wrong The past is old and gone It's best to move along And find your Avalon Well, I wish that I could tell you it was easy Take the paved road right to paradise But the truth is my friends, the pain and suffering never ends Make amends with medicine, amnesia, and lies Oh the grains sift coarsely through the hourglass And they pound like boulders on the brain All those things you did for fun, never hurting anyone Careless shadows in the sun, just empty and lame [Chorus] And it's no, it's no use thinking that you're wrong The past is old and gone It's best to move along And find your Avalon It's no use thinking that you're wrong The past is dead and gone It's best to move along And find your Avalon [Verse 3] So now the day races from the twilight How the fields are enveloped by the shade And the story that you'll tell, inventory of your well Crack the shell and find the mortar silted and decayed [Chorus] And it's no, it's no use thinking that you're wrong The past is old and gone It's best to hurry on And find your Avalon
