Lyrics Shores of Avalon - James LaBrie

I never saw it coming
Somehow the heat of battle
Sure dulled my senses to the real world
Or was I dreaming?
She held my hand and knew me
She looked right trough all I knew
Lie quiet, let the rain wash over me now

Inside the royal chambers
She's staring out her window
Tears well hidden by a crimson veil
This is the poison
Clutching a Turkish dagger
By the moonlight I feel it begin
I'm wounded, let the pain wash over me now

Loneliness again
Sits here alongside of me
Gotta make my way
To where the waters heal my wounds
I know this is where I'll stay
Too jaded by her deception
A trust i thought to believe
I just wanna rest
Live out the best of my days
Untill I reach Avalon

Lie quiet, let the pain wash away from me now

No beginning or end
All of the roles was pass on through
I looked inside and I saw
My soul's my guide
I need to walk with you
I know this is where I'll stay
The world I've left behind
Has no place in my heart
I can finally rest
And live out the rest of my days
I'll never leave Avalon
