Cognac and Roses

He only lived forty years
The words he wrote still remain
We then saw our world
In the light of a different day
Took our mind up darkened stairs
To a locked door at the end of the hall
Apprehensive, moving in the room
Where our feelings have been called
Cognac and roses
In the darkness you touched the heart
Cognac and roses
Even death can't pull you apart
Pen in hand, his mind full of dark thoughts
Edgar Allan Poe!
Money, with no love
Sent away to school
No man of war, but pen in hand
Everything succumbs to his will
Love any lover
Kill any foe
Make the truth known
To us all
Stock me with your cryptograms
For I will solve them all
Cognac and roses
In the darkness you touched the heart
Cognac and roses
Even death can't pull you apart
Pen in hand, his mind full of dark thoughts
Edgar Allan Poe!
The one ray of light
That ever crept into his room
Took his happiness
She left his side too soon
He only lived forty years
The words he wrote still remain
We then saw our world
In the light of a different day
Took our mind up darkened stairs
To a locked door at the end of the hall
Apprehensive, moving in the room
Where our feelings have been called
Cognac and roses
In the darkness you touched the heart
Cognac and roses
Even death can't tear you apart
Pen in hand, his mind full of dark thoughts
Edgar Allan Poe!
