Edgar and Virginia Lyrics

In old Baltimore where the shadows grow long

Lived a poet named Edgar with a heart full of song

He found his true love young Virginia so fair

But their love was marked by sorrow a tale of despair

Edgar and Virginia a love so pure and deep

Through the dark and dreary nights their hearts would always weep

In the dim candle glow their love would shine bright

But fate had other plans in the cold haunting night

He wrote of ravens lost loves and tales of fright

But his heart belonged to Virginia his guiding light

From "Annabel Lee" to "The Raven" so grim

Every word he penned was a tribute to her and him

Edgar and Virginia a love so pure and deep

Through the dark and dreary nights their hearts would always weep

In the dim candle glow their love would shine bright

But fate had other plans in the cold haunting night

In sickness and in health they clung to each other tight

But Virginia's breath grew weaker like a fading light

Consumption took her slowly stealing her away

Edgar's heart was breaking as she slipped day by day

On a midnight dreary while the storm winds blow

Edgar wept for Virginia letting his sorrow show

With a whiskey in hand and a quill in his grasp

He penned his darkest verses to make their love last

Edgar and Virginia a love so pure and deep

Through the dark and dreary nights their hearts would always weep

In the dim candle glow their love would shine bright

But fate had other plans in the cold haunting night

So if you ever read his verses of love and despair

Remember Edgar and Virginia the love they shared so rare

Raise a glass to the poet and his tragic love's flame

For in the heart of darkness their love will always remain

Their love will always remain

Their love will always remain
