Michelle Malone - AVALON lyrics

From the Album: HOME GROWN Avalon (Michelle Malone ©1999 Strange Bird Songs/Ensign Music/ASCAP) I been thinking about the world and how it seems to have gone a bit crazy. I can’t open a paper or a magazine or turn on my TV without seeing something I don’t want to see. There’s terror on the front page news . And tragedy on channel two. And faces saying I have to buy something to make me happy Avalon, where are you now? If you could, would you open up your veil? Let me drink a little from your well. Avalon, I have been waiting here so patiently. For you to show the way across the summer sea. Oh, Avalon, where can you be? I don’t understand how anyone of us could expect to feel grounded. I don’t need the madness. Makes me want to pack and head straight for the mountains. Or the canyon or the sea. ‘Cause I would rather be bombarded by the sky, if it was falling. Seek the refuge of an island. Create my own free country
