Avalon Fire Lyrics

Ever since the Avalon fire burned out

Down on railroad avenue

I've been listening voices saying softly

But assuredly and true

"There is nothing for you here"

"There is nothing for you here"

Ever since the crowd once gathered scattered

Nothing's mattered much at all

Another evening falls upon the lake

And once again i hear the lady call

"There is nothing for you here" (there is nothin' here)

"There is nothing for you here" (there is nothin' here)

"There is nothing for you here, boy"

As I sail on toward the mainland

With the smoke still in my eyes

I remember a next-door pet-store, and I realize

This is no mistake

This is no mistake

There is no mistaking the flames

You were there at the Avalon fire

You looked at me, what were we supposed to do?
