Avalon Landing - Erie County Welcomes You Back lyrics

rate me

It's the first of July

And I can hear engines in the sky

And it hasn't sunk in

That if I knock on your door

There'll be no reply

'Cause I'm the type of person who gets depressed

When I have to say goodbye to the characters I've met

In movies I've seen

When the credits start to roll, I want to press rewind

So that I don't have to leave my 90-minute friends behind

So tell me how I'm supposed to handle

The west coast stealing you away from me

Your 737 is my enemy

At least I've got the sun to keep me company

I was ahead and miles away

My eastern sunset in the middle of your day

A conversation that we shared

As I walk the streets in the crisp air

Of an autumn day in the neighborhood

Stretched the frequencies as far as we could

And I watched one of our favorite movies

When you left that day

You crossed the country,

I saw Garden State

I felt the west coast stealing you away from me

Your 737 is my enemy

At least I've got the sun to keep me company

I was ahead and miles away

My eastern sunset in the middle of your--

(Took a trip downtown)

Weeks before you took off

(And Avalon was found)

Over some silverware and a tablecloth

(I was lost in thought)

We'll resurrect

The feeling I'd get

Ten years ago

When all that I had

Was an empty notebook and a piano

I felt the west coast stealing you away from me

Your 737 is my enemy

At least I've got the sun to keep me company

I was ahead and miles away

My eastern sunset in your day

I'll steal you back and make you stay

I was ahead and miles away

My eastern sunset in the middle of your day
