***(Verse 1)***
In the midnight hour, shadows creep,
A tapping at my chamber door pulls me from sleep,
There's a whisper in the darkness, calling me back,
With a voice so smooth, oh, it's right on track.
***(Chorus)***
Oh, nevermore, oh, nevermore,
Like a tune that swings, it haunts my core,
In the echoes of the night, that raven sings,
Tales of love and loss, and the pain it brings.
***(Verse 2)***
With feathers black as coal, he spins his tale,
Of fleeting dreams and hearts that sometimes fail,
Each note lingers like smoke in the air,
A sweet serenade, filled with heart and despair.
***(Chorus)***
Oh, nevermore, oh, nevermore,
A symphony of sorrows from the world’s folklore,
In the dance of shadows, he takes to flight,
With a swing so smooth, oh, he owns the night!
***(Ad-libs:)*
*Hey there, band! Give me that sweet sax solo!*
*Let’s ride the breeze, baby! Woohoo!*
*Oh, the rhythm's got me feeling fine!*
*Sing it, fellas! One more time! Oh yeah!*
***(Bridge)***
Under the moonlight glow, he spreads his wings,
In this twilight world where the heartache clings,
He’s the ghost of longing, bittersweet refrain,
The raven’s story echoes, a jazzy strain.
***(Verse 3)***
So let that band play on, with that saxophone,
As I sway to the rhythm, oh, I’m never alone,
Each note a whisper from the dark and deep,
With the raven by my side, I've lost my sleep.
***(Chorus)***
Oh, nevermore, oh, nevermore,
A heart once whole, now forever sore,
In the arms of a memory, our shadows entwined,
As the music plays on, oh, I can't seem to mind!
***(Ad-libs:)*
*Raise that glass, folks! Let the good times roll!*
*Play it, boys—I'm feeling that jazz soul!*
*What a ride! Let’s keep the night young!*
*Oh, swing it now, can I get a little more fun?*
***(Outro)***
So raise a glass, let the night unfurl,
To the raven’s lament in this jazzy swirl,
With Sinatra’s charm and a wink from the night,
We’ll dance with the darkness 'til the morning light!
