Avalon
O'Day Anita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Across the sea where flying fishes play
And as the night is falling
I find that I'm recalling
That blissful all enthralling day
Just before I sailed away
She said the word I longed to hear her say,
Close to my heart I pressed her
Upon that golden yesterday
I found my love in Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away
I dream of her and Avalon
From dusk 'til dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Avalon

Every morning memories stray
Every morning, my thoughts wander to distant places
Across the sea where flying fishes play
I envision myself in a peaceful and joyful place where nature thrives and things are surreal
And as the night is falling
As the day comes to a close,
I find that I'm recalling
I realize that I am remembering
That blissful all enthralling day
That day when everything was wonderful and mesmerizing
Just before I sailed away
Right before I left
She said the word I longed to hear her say,
She finally said the thing I had been longing for her to say
I tenderly caressed her
I gently touched her lovingly
Close to my heart I pressed her
I held her closely against my chest
Upon that golden yesterday
During that special memory from the past
I found my love in Avalon
I discovered true love in a magical place called Avalon
Beside the bay
Next to the shore of the water
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away
I had to leave my true love in Avalon and depart on my journey
I dream of her and Avalon
I often think of both her and the enchanted place Avalon
From dusk 'til dawn
Throughout the night and into the morning
And so I think I'll travel on
So, I believe I will continue on my path
To Avalon
To return to that magic place where I found my love
