(Alan Simon) by Fairport Convention
Stand up my friend
We're heading out to the western lands
Out towards the sacred isle of Avalon
Come walk with me
Time is short and the road is long
The road that leads to the sacred isle of Avalon
Hold out your hand
I will show you a land full of promise
Remember Finn McCool, Brendan, Bran And Maeldun
They've gone before us to the shores of Avalon
So come take my hand
I will show you a land full of promise
Take heed as you go
There's many danger, fiend and foe
Waiting for us on the road of Avalon
And do not step aside
No matter what temptation lies
In waiting for us on the road of Avalon
Hold out your hand
I will show you a land full of promise
Stand up my friend
We're heading out to the western lands
Out towards the sacred isle of Avalon
Come walk with me

The road that leads to the sacred isle of Avalon
Hold out your hand

Remember Finn McCool, Brendan, Bran And Maeldun
They've gone before us to the shores of Avalon
So come take my hand
I will show you a land full of promise
Take heed as you go
There's many danger, fiend and foe
Waiting for us on the road of Avalon
And do not step aside
No matter what temptation lies
In waiting for us on the road of Avalon
Hold out your hand
I will show you a land full of promise
