​Avondale Lyrics And Chords By Stockton's Wing

​utumn creeps, through the trees
Leaves fly upon a breeze
And children dancing on the green
Images and memories
Of the place where I long to be
But Avondale is far away
I've been missing you
Wishing I was back once more
Here I am Feeling alone
Wishing I was back again on Avondale

The road gets longer day by day
And there's miles of open freeway
But faces never seem to change
From one night stand to motel room
Come the morning gone too soon
And wonder where I was Yesterday
I've been missing you
Wishing I was back once more
Here I am Feeling alone
Wishing I was back again on Avondale
Autumn leaves will always be
Gently reminding me
Time's forever moving on
I've been missing you
Wishing I was back once more
Here I am Feeling alone
Wishing I was back again on Avondale
