Avalon, My Hometown Songtext
von Bruce Cockburn

Avalon, my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon′s my hometown, always on my mind
Pretty women in Avalon; wanna be there all the time

I left Avalon this morning, 'bout half past nine
I left Avalon this morning
Pretty women in Avalon; wanna be there all the time

And when I left Avalon, throwing kisses and waving at me
I left Avalon this morning
Now I′m standing here in this cloud of mystery


Said "come here daddy, now, stay right here with me
Oh come back daddy, now
Oh come back daddy, now, stay right here with me
Oh, mm"

Mmm, I hate to tell you
Oh I hate to tell you, pretty mamma, but you got to know
Oh, I hate to tell you
I'm leaving Avalon, ain't coming back no more

Now, New York′s a good town, but it′s not for mine
New York's a good town
Ah, it sure doesn′t have what I left Avalon to find

Mmm, there's just one thing I, I can′t understand
Yeah, there's just one thing that
Many pretty women in Avalon, and I′m just one man


Avalon's, my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon's my hometown, always on my mind
Pretty women in Avalon; wanna be there all the time
