You lived the life you dreamed the dream

You built the wall that stands between

Blocked out the light that gave you hope

Withdrew your words before you spoke

You watched the world slip out of your hands



And you laughed and you cried

And that made it all worthwhile

And you hoped and you prayed

That your world would never change

But all that it's become 

Is Avalon



You made your home where kings have died

There's no romance now you've seen the light

You thought you'd found the land of dreams

Sometimes a paradise is not what it seems

You watched the world slip out of your hands



And you laughed and you cried

And that made it all worthwhile

And you hoped and you prayed

That your world would never change

But all that it's become 

Is Avalon



All that remains are memories and lies

Nothing stays the same



And you laughed and you cried

And that made it all worthwhile

And you hoped and you prayed

That your world would never change

But all that it's become 

Is Avalon
