Avalon Lyrics

[00:18.89] Now the party's over, I'm so tired
[00:26.15] Then I see you coming, out of nowhere
[00:33.49] Much communication, in a motion
[00:40.45] Without conversation, or a notion
[00:46.64] Avalon
[00:50.36]
[01:02.90] When the samba takes you, out of nowhere
[01:10.30] With the background fading, out of focus
[01:17.25] Yes the picture's changing, every moment
[01:24.35] And your destination, you don't know it
[01:30.61] Avalon
[01:34.50]
[01:50.94] (Dancing, dancing)
[01:54.66]
[02:05.77] (Dancing, dancing)
[02:10.28]
[02:12.96] When you bossa nova, there's no holding
[02:22.16] But you have me dancing, out of nowhere
[02:28.30] Avalon
[02:31.82]
[02:34.57] Avalon
[02:39.10] (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
[02:45.89] Avalon
[02:49.08]
[03:01.77] Avalon (Ooh)
[03:04.59] Avalon (Ooh)
[03:12.06]
[03:14.77] Avalon (Ooh)
[03:21.73] Avalon (Ooh)
[03:22.12] Avalon (Ooh)
[03:27.37] Avalon
[03:31.01]
[03:35.56] Avalon
[03:39.15] Avalon (Ooh)
[03:45.45]
[03:49.97] Avalon
[03:51.29]
