Music and video by SlowStrider (Henno Vermeulen)Lyrics by Edgar Allan Poe.I had a dream of myself playing a song. When I woke up I only remembered me singing the line "dream within a dream" and the use of a repeating riff. So I decided to write a song with the lyrics of the poem "Dream Within a Dream" by Poe and add a riff that sounds a bit like the one I heard in my dream. (And yes, I finally have an electric guitar! Yay)Verse 1:Take this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow-You are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Verse 2:Yet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?therefore the less gone?Chorus:All that we see or seemIs but a dream within a dream.Verse 3 (spoken):I stand amid the roarOf a surf-tormented shore,And I hold within my handGrains of the golden sand-SoloChorusVerse 4:How few! yet how they creepThrough my fingers to the deep,While I weep- while I weep!O God! can I not graspThem with a tighter clasp?Verse 5:O God! can I not saveOne from the pitiless wave?Is all that we see or seemBut a dream within a dream?a dream within a dream?Chorus
