lyrics

My love has gone to Avalon, the winter here's too cold,
as vanquished kings from fields of fog did in their days of old.
And as she moves through shimmering climes and views the ancient stones,
I stand here on my hill, alone.

I did as much as I could do to bind my love to stay.
From Lothian to Tintagel's, a long and weary way.
No warlock Celt am I to bind her fancy to my own,
I stand here on my hill, alone.

My city stands full in my gaze, a proud and empty shell.
A ruined chapel mocks the view above barren well.
An icy breeze from Greenland's coast denies a futile son,
I stand here on my hill, alone.

Perhaps I'll go to Westmorland, where hills are not so high.
Or make my way to Anglia, where Lowland pastures lie.
A darkened town's no place of rest for one who saw it shine.
I stand here on my hill, alone.

My love has gone to Avalon, the winter here's too cold ,...
