Lyrics

The sound of a Dixieland band reminds me of a garden
Where the old ladies sit in the shade and flutter their fans
All gathered together to gossip like a bunch of old colonels
And charm the swans from their pond with their lily-white hand
And is that the singing of Annabelle Lee that I hear?
Is that the ghost of the lady I'm dying to see?
And is that the ether that makes these echoes that I hear?
But a lady is still a lady to me
Growing up reckless some place on the edge of the city
Learning to take danger as a matter of course, not concern
What's the difference if there's no light in the alley
When you're so down and alone you got no place to turn?
And is that the singing of Annabelle Lee that I hear?
And is that the ghost of the lady I'm dying to see?
And is that the ether that makes these footsteps that I hear?
But an alley is still an alley to me
And a lady is still part of my memory
And is that the singing of Annabelle Lee that I hear?
And is that the ghost of the lady I'm dying to see?
And is that the ether that makes these echoes in my ear?
But a lady is still a lady to me
But this lady is just a part of my memory
