lyrics

Moonlight, it shines mournfully on the gardens you loved so;
Peacocks cry out sorrowfully under weeping willows.
Ivy grows wild inexorably around your French windows:
Nighttime arrives implacably as the cool evening breeze blows.

CHORUS;
Nevermore, Sweet Lenore will your flame burn so bright;
Lovingly I implore, please shine your light over me tonight.

Tree branches tap perceptibly against my window pane;
Wondering aloud irrationally if I'll see you again.
Descending the stairs gingerly, your voice heard in my brain;
Staring out the window sadly, a memory's all that remains.

REPEAT CHORUS

I saw you moving gracefully among the empty grounds;
But this I know undoubtedly, you're no longer around.
Wishing oh so implausibly you just need to be found;
My mind's gone irretrievably, my senses have run aground.

REPEAT CHORUS

My actions and words regrettably caused you to meet your end;
What I did, although unknowingly, I simply just cannot defend...
