Emily
Joy and Lara Lyrics

Walking on the beach on a mid-August night
Phosphorescence was the only light
Avalon took my hand and she showed me way

She said our love is barely started but the summer's nearly gone
Want to feel that life's for living while my body is still young
Take me back to school and I fear I'll lose my way

Avalon, o Avalon, My mind is made up but my money's all gone
Avalon, won't you run away with me
Around the corner by the lighthouse where the cutters used to smoke
Had to beg, borrow and bleed and steal for one forgotten toke
Avalon whispered her idea for how we'd get away

I learned to hotwire a car when I was just 13 years old
Used to take em down to Myrtle Beach where we know they could get sold
I had that baby flying in a minute and man we were away

Avalon, o Avalon, My mind is made up but my ideas are all gone
Avalon, won't you run away with me

Love is like a midnight tide
Can't always see nothing but it'll take for a ride
Love is like the wave you never seen
Coming, coming

Sheriff pulled me over, took me down to spend the night
Avalon was waving 'neath the sodium vapor light
I knew I'd never see her as she blew a kiss and turned away

She said I love you like forever but forever never stays
Wanna pack a lot of living into a small number of days
Gonna take a ride to Memphis with a man who will show me the way

Avalon, o Avalon, My mind is messed up cause my honey's all gone
Avalon, why'd you run away from me

Avalon, o Avalon, My money's made up and my mind is all wrong
Avalon, don't you run away from me

Avalon, don't you run away Avalon, don't you run away
Avalon, don't you run away from me
Avalon, don't you run away Avalon, don't you run away
Avalon, don't you run away from me
from me, from me, from me
