Rob Slocum - Annabel Lee Lyrics

It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me

I was a child and she was a child
In this kingdom by the sea
But we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabel Lee
With such a love the archangels of Heaven
Coveted her and me

So that her highborn kinsmen came
For to bear her away from me
We ran before them to the far corners
Of this kingdom by the sea
The soft moonlight kissed the soft smooth skin
Of my beautiful Annabel Lee

And this was the reason that long ago
In this kingdom by the sea
The envying angels sent a north wind
Upon my beautiful Annabel Lee
That the wind came out of the cloud by night
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee
That the wind came out of the cloud by night
Chilling my Annabel Lee

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of many far wiser than we
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so all the night-tide I lie down by the side
Of my darling-my darling-my life and my bride
In her sepulchre there by the sea
In her tomb by the sounding sea
