You lived the life you dreamed the dream You built the wall that stands between Blocked out the light that gave you hope Withdrew your words before you spoke You watched the world slip out of your hands And you laughed and you cried And that made it all worthwhile And you hoped and you prayed That your world would never change But all that it's become Is Avalon You made your home where kings have died There's no romance now you've seen the light You thought you'd found the land of dreams Sometimes a paradise is not what it seems You watched the world slip out of your hands And you laughed and you cried And that made it all worthwhile And you hoped and you prayed That your world would never change But all that it's become Is Avalon All that remains are memories and lies Nothing stays the same And you laughed and you cried And that made it all worthwhile And you hoped and you prayed That your world would never change But all that it's become Is Avalon
