According to Jerry Hall's latest book , this song was written after her break up with Ferry when she left him for Mick Jagger. Jagger and Jerry Hall secretly had an affair and travelled to Morocco while she was still livng at Ferry's home in England. Mick Jagger convinced her to leave him while they were on a secret getaway in Morocco. When Ferry found out he never let her return to their home to collect their belongings. She was an avid reader and one of the things she left behind was a book left on the bedside table titled "The Mists of Avalon" . Shortly thereafter Bryan ferry wrote Avalon. Jerry Hall and Bryan Ferry never spoke again and she remained with Mick for the next 23 years who was notoriously unfaithful to her. Ferry remarried right away in 1982 to Lucy Ferry and is no divorced from her and remarried to someone else... Jerry Hall is single...72 yr old Mick's 'official' girlfriend after Jerry Hall, L'wren Scott committed suicide in July 2014
@kln The Jerry Hall explanation isn\'t possible. She left Ferry in the late 70s. Mists of Avalon was written in the early 80s, around the same time the song was released. It\'s unlikely Ferry even knew of the book before he finished the song.

@kln Except that Avalon the album was released in May 1982 and the book wasn't released until 1983.
