EV'RY MORNING MEM'RIES STRAY
ACROSS THE SEA WHERE FLYING FISHES PLAY
AND AS THE NIGHT IS FALLING
I FIND THAT I'M RECALLING
THAT BLISSFUL ALL ENTHRALLING DAY
JUST BE-FORE I SAILED AWAY
SHE SAID THE WORD I LONGED TO HEAR HER SAY,
I TENDERLY CARESSED HER
CLOSE TO MY HEART I PRESSED HER
UPON THAT GOLDEN YESTERDAY
I FOUND MY LOVE IN AVALON
BESIDE THE BAY
I LEFT MY LOVE IN AVALON AND SAILED AWAY
I DREAM OF HER AND AVALON
FROM DUSK 'TIL DAWN
AND SO I THINK I'LL TRAVEL ON
TO AVALON
