Pilgrims - 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
