Engineer William Bayley Bray (1812–1885) arrived in Canterbury in January 1851 on the Duke of Bronte and built a homestead at the head of the Avon River in an area with many springs, and he thus called it Avonhead. The area itself was referred to as Avonwood in early records, but Avonhead became the common term and this was formally adopted by the Waimairi County Council 1959.

I know I was wrong and then I feared
Playin' games with your mind, 'cause I knew you cared
Walking out of the door, every other night
And I knew two wrongs wouldn't make a right
Now things have changed and what you feel is not the same
I thought we could make ends meet
But you can't stand no more pain
And now I know babe, and it is me
I'm lonely and here is where I want you to be
A woman like you, is too precious to lose
And I am confused, what will I do?
Baby, I love you and
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I never knew what true love was
'Til you left me and now the thought of
You with someone else, hurts me deeply
I try to keep those thoughts out my mind
But I think about you all the time
Where is our love, I must be out of my mind?
What else can I do to prove our love to you?
I'm going crazy baby, and your love made me
I never should have done you wrong, now I'm sittin' here all alone
You should feel my pain and for you I'll change
Can I have a second try? 'Cause without you what am I
And I know you don't want to see a grown man cry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm sorry, I done you wrong
And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
(That's right)
See I got myself together now
So you don't have to worry about me runnin' 'round
(Runnin' around)
I'm sorry I done you wrong
And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
(That's right)
See I got myself together now
So you don't have to worry about me runnin' around
(You don't have to worry no more, babe)
I'm sorry, I done you wrong
(I'm sorry)
And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
(I'm sorry, I'll be right here, yeah)
See I got myself together now
(I'm sorry, so please)
So you don't have to worry about me runnin' around
(I'm so sorry)
I?m sorry, I done you wrong
And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
(That?s right)
See I got myself together now
So you don?t have to worry about me runnin' 'round
