A Recurring Dream Within A Dream Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

Featuring Jeremy Parsons 

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons 

The clock struck midnight 

And through my sleeping 

I heard a tapping at my door 

I looked but nothing lay in the darkness 

And so I turned inside once more 

To my amazement 

There stood a raven 

Whose shadow hung above my door 

Then through the silence 

It spoke the one word 

That I shall hear for evermore 

Quoth the raven, nevermore 

Thus quoth the raven 

Nevermore 

And still the raven 

Remains in my room 

No matter how much I implore 

No words can soothe him 

No prayer remove him 

And I must hear for evermore 

Quoth the raven, nevermore 

Thus quoth the raven 

Nevermore
