Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain

Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs
G               |        G  |                 Am7  |
I can still taste the wedding cake and it's sweet after all these

That's why it took so long to write
F/A   |  Bb    |                       C | C/Bb |
There will be other words some other day

But that's the story of my life

They're pulling all the moorings up and gathering at the Legion Hall
Gadd9G |  G  |                        Bb/F |       F  |
They swept away all the streamers after the Labor Day parade
G               |        G  |                 Am7  |     BbF/AC/G |
There's Nothing left for a dreamer now, only one final serenade

Eb     |    Bb    |   F   | C/F  |
And it's so clear standing here where I am

Ain't that what justice is for?

Stack the chairs on the table tops, hang the sheets on the chandeliers
G               |        G  |                 Am7  |
It slows down but it never stops, ain't it sweet after all these

It's always hard to say goodbye
