Lyrics to Avonmore

Lyrics to Avonmore
Written by Bryan Ferry and Oliver Thompson

As it was

In the beginning

Before the darkness

And the fall

I lay my head

On your heartbeat

Cloaking the dagger

Of your soul


I want a love that’s never ending

Through all the thunder and the rain

But there’s no sense in pretending

I know I’ll never fall in love again


What if you wake up

One morning

And you’re living in a world

That’s hard to face

What if the good times

Turn to sorrow

What if a stranger

Takes your place


I want a love that’s never ending

Through all the thunder and the rain

But there’s no sense in pretending

I know I’ll never fall in love again


I want a love that’s never ending

Through all the thunder and the rain

But there’s no sense in pretending

I know I’ll never fall in love again


We’ll cling

Together

In the moonlight

Burning the river

Into gold

Count all the minutes

Then the hours

Until your heart turns cold


I want a love that’s never ending

Through all the thunder and the rain

But there’s no sense in pretending

I know I’ll never fall in love again
