There’s no living in my life anymore
The seas have gone dry and the rain stopped falling
Please don’t you cry anymore
Can’t you see
Listen to the breeze, whisper to me please
Don’t send me to the path of nevermore

Even the valleys below
Where the rays of the sun were so warn and tender
Now haven’t anything to grow
Can’t you see
Why did you have to leave me
Why did you deceive me
You send me to the path of nevermore
When you say you didn’t love me anymore
Nevermore
Nevermore

About Lyrics and Nevermore by Queen

The lyrics to Nevermore are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Queen used when the song was created in 1974. The lyrics to Nevermore have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Queen and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Nevermore by Queen. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Nevermore" means the words set to the music of Nevermore, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Queen. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Nevermore and the lyrics to Nevermore are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Queen who came here looking just for the lyrics to Nevermore, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
