Email: Leave a message on my  Ultimate Guitar  profile.

Slightly untypical track from Bill and the boys this time, from 
the Modern Music sessions or at least you can find it there as a 
bonus track on the CD version. I have tabbed it out in two - bar 
chunks and I have tried to convey the rhythm of the piece. Enjoy.

Lyrics:

Many years have passed me by it's true
Many dreams have vanished from my view
I've chased them all
But there has been no answer
'though I recall
My innocence and laughter
I'm feeling older now...
But what comes after this is through?

Time has traced it's maps across my face
Signs and lines for youth to navigate
Oh, and in the end
There will be no returning
Let's not pretend
No regrets and no yearning
Drink deep and fill your heart
Give all you've got to what you do. 

The ancient quest for meaning draws me now
Over the edge of my horizon
And all the fields of reason I must plough
To reap the harvest of the stars

I see the Isle of Avalon
So blue, so green and real
I feel the smile, the victory won
By saintly words I feel

The broken beat of holy drums...
The flashing eyes of suns...
The chalice fills and overflows
The legend is begun

Sail on you pilgrim wanderers
On tides of blessed faith
Here in this land of Albion
Two thousand years from you...
Two thousand years from you...
Two thousand years from you I wait.
