Avalon of the Heart
by Van Morrison

On down by Avalon
Avalon of the heart
On down by Avalon
Gonna make a brand new start

Oh, the Holy Grail
Baby behind the sun
Oh, the Holy Grail
Down by Avalon

Well I came upon
The enchanted vale
Down by the viaducts of my dreams
Down by Camelot hangs the tale
In the ancient vale

Oh the Avalon sunset
Avalon of the heart
Me and my lady
Goin' down by Avalon

Well I came upon
The enchanted vale
Down by the viaducts of my dreams
Near Camelot hangs the tale
Of the enchanted vale

In the upper room
There the cup does stand
In the upper room
Down by Avalon

Goin' down by Avalon
Oh, my Avalon of the heart
Goin' down by Avalon
Gonna make a brand new start

Oh down by Avalon
Oh baby behind the sun
Goin' down by Avalon
Well the journey's just begun

Oh, down by Avalon
Sweet Avalon of the heart
Goin' down by Avalon

I thought it was around here somewhere but, not found it yet. If not, it's somewhere over at Bnet in the archives. Which means I will never find it! lol

It can be a lot of fun to google "arthurian legend" (or a topic along that line) to see the sort of stuff that can be found.

For anyone interested in such things, I found this dictionary of Arthurian names:

gorddcymru.org/twilight/camelot/bruce_dictionary/index.htm

Also, the story of the Questing Beast can be found here:

blownawayby: Sabs&Co!!!! It is I, Daph, aka blownaway, still alive, kicking a little lower for all the wear, but alive and so happy I came across Poetry Seasons' email address today. Hope to drift in and out a little more often than every death of a pope!

anirbas: OMG! Blownawayby!!! Daph, I am so glad you found us, again! I always wonder where everyone goes, or how they are, when they disappear. I have been MIA for a while, now, myself. Good to see you! Oct 16, 2023 22:37:35 GMT -6 *
