And it's true that in the past I've really loves the little phrasing and extra vocals that Stevie puts on the end of a song as it trails to a close. I actually like that alot in Ghosts Are Gone even. But in Annabel Lee, it's regimented at the end. It almost sounds like a vocal exercise as she repeats closing lines. It's not that sense of wailing adlib abandon you get at the end of other songs, such as:

blame it on my wild, my wild, my willlllld heart baby, blame it on my wild heart . . .
