lyrics
Give me a penny for Poe
we must pay the boatman to row
over the river to the underworld
to find a place for his soul
Walking alone by the shore
they grasp at his feet all night long
creatures that only the devil could dream
while the children sing this song
Dream within dream within dream we row
to get to the other side
The lives of the raven won't stop
but this one would be never more
Nor angels above, nor demons below
Can ever decipher his soul
When the walls start to close in
and darkness is all you found
you reach for a sing, a coin in the light
a hand to turn you around
Dream within dream within dream we row
to get to the other side
Give me a penny for Poe
we got him a grave of his own
where in the moonlight at times you can see
the ghost of Annabel Lee
Dream within dream within dream we row
to get to the other side
we must pay the boatman to row
over the river to the underworld
to find a place for his soul
Walking alone by the shore
they grasp at his feet all night long
creatures that only the devil could dream
while the children sing this song
Dream within dream within dream we row
to get to the other side
The lives of the raven won't stop
but this one would be never more
Nor angels above, nor demons below
Can ever decipher his soul
When the walls start to close in
and darkness is all you found
you reach for a sing, a coin in the light
a hand to turn you around
Dream within dream within dream we row
to get to the other side
Give me a penny for Poe
we got him a grave of his own
where in the moonlight at times you can see
the ghost of Annabel Lee
Dream within dream within dream we row
to get to the other side
