Avalon SW10 - Gene Loves Jezebel

Every time I look out into the night sky

I’m still wondering what I did with my life

For I have seen you in-between the rhythm of your smile

Caught you in a moment lost you in the next

The glimmer of a flame the quiet of your sigh

Do you know the way to Avalon do you know the way to Avalon

If I’m still tumbling don’t you roll your eyes

I’m still wearing that old overcoat, keeps me dry

For I have been a wretch, a scoundrel of the heart

My eyes have seen so much

Looking hard at you I find myself sublimely

drenched in the secrets of a universal lover.

For I have read the good book wandered from pillow to post

I’ve seen more than most but then again still far too far to go

I see you walking down fulham road you hurry through the iron gates

of Brompton cemetery.

then you’re off to Edith Grove you’re going to buy another bag.

one last time, so that you might never ever feel the pain again,

you’re coming up for air, coming up for air for air baby say to me,

it’s the last time,

in the winter-weary autumn light.

the last in the wintry weary autumn light
