Avoca By Night
Jim Savarino © 1991
Seems we've been walking this road quite a ways Don't know from which direction that you came And I can tell by the lines in your face Any way you choose is just the same You've drawn up the water from deep in the well Till your roots grew so wide and so strong Branches spread up above the ones you love A life so full and so long (Chorus) The sun's goin' down in the western sky I see you in the red fading light And there's no place I'd rather be Than with you in Avoca by night Seems like we come from two separate worlds Different looks, different points of view But here am I and here are you, we're both reaching out Seems like the only thing to do In just a little while we'll both be back home Each with our memories to keep May they linger until the time I lay down for my final sleep Chorus
