Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I bought a boat to sail to you
It was white as the cliffs of Dover
And on her foot, she had a clew
It was all that her sweet head could carry
[Chorus]
Oh, Avalon
The seas were high and the days were long
And the signal on my phone has gone
Oh, Avalon
[Verse 2]
The Captain never shed a tear
As he's waving goodbye to his family
The first mate whispered in his ear
And he fell when the Captain screamed, "Hard-alee!"
[Chorus]
Oh, Avalon
The seas were high, the nights were long
And the signal on my phone is gone
Oh, Avalon
[Verse 3]
Then one night while we dreamed under caps, under coats
We all heard the siren's song
She was calling the Captain to follow her down
And in the morning, the Captain was gone
[Verse 4]
And we sailed in irons for fourteen years
Over treacherous waters uncharted
And finally when land appeared
We were right back to where we got started
[Chorus]
Oh, Avalon
You were the journey all along
And the signal on my phone's still gone
Oh, Avalon
[Outro]
Oh, Avalon
