Entracte Ft. The Original Off-Broadway Cast of Nevermore by Jonathan Christenson Lyrics
[Player 6]
Mr. Poe
[Player 3]
Mr. Poe, Mr. Poe, Mr. Poe
[Player 2]
Mr. Poe! Are you alright? Are you alright, Mr. Poe?
Edgar: Blegh
[Player 5]
Edgar!
[Edgar]
I’m sorry, I haven’t been well
[Player 4]
It’s all right, Edgar, you’re all right
[Player 5]
Edgar, shall we continue then?
[Player 1]
There’s a cemetery next to an old church they call Saint John’s
There’s a boy who spends his time here and he stays from dusk til dawn
There’s a grave of blackest granite where that boy ever remains
A grave of blackest granite where poor Fanny Allan lays
[Players]
Here shrouded forms do start and sigh
And without waking pass him by
Ghostly forms of friends long [?]
In agony to earth and heaven!
And life is but a dream to those
Whose eyes are always cast on things around them
With a raptor never back upon the past!
There’s a cemetery next to an old church they call Saint John’s
There’s a boy who spends his time here and he’ll stay from dusk til dawn
For this is the one place really where he truly feels at home
Where he can be himself completely
And he doesn’t feel alone
For here the spirits of the dead
Who stood in life before him
Stand again!
In death around him
And their will still overshadows him!
For life is but a dream for those
Whose eyes are always cast on things around them
With a [?] never back upon the past!
[Player 3]
There’s more reason why he comes here
And that reason is quite plain
There’s a girl who spends her time her
And Elmira is her name…
Mr. Poe
[Player 3]
Mr. Poe, Mr. Poe, Mr. Poe
[Player 2]
Mr. Poe! Are you alright? Are you alright, Mr. Poe?
Edgar: Blegh
