I've been standin' in lineAt Terminal 9I'm leavin' here todayI'll be rising above the landAnd I hope you'll understandWhy it had to end this wayA wave of sadness washes me awayAvalon, take me far across the bayI wish there was time for watching the tideBut I've been racing with the windI've been put on this stageAnd the passing parade won't stop to let me byA wave of sadness washes over meAvalon, there beyond the deep blue seaAl the people I've knownThese upholstered memoriesI'm leaving them behindBut the stories to tellOf the bright stars that fellI'll be joining them thereA wave of sadness washes me awayAvalon, take me far across the bay
