"I found my love in Avalon/ Beside the bay. I left my love in Avalon/ And sail'd away. I dream of her and Avalon/ From dusk 'til dawn. And so I think I'll travel on To Avalon.
Just before I sail'd away She said the word I long'd to hear her say. I tenderly caress'd her Close to my heart I press'd her/ Upon that golden yesterday".// /
