Candles bloom 2

[Verse 1] In a classroom where the moonlight spills On the desks and the dusty window sills A black cat sits on a stack of books With a knowing look in its emerald eyes The witch at the board draws a crooked line Mixing potions in a glass of wine She whispers spells in a language old While the cat’s tail curls like a story told [Chorus] Black cat and the witch classroom Where the shadows dance and the candles bloom Learning magic from a whispered tune Underneath the silver moon Black cat and the witch classroom Where the secrets sleep in a velvet tomb Every lesson spells a doom Or a wish that breaks the gloom [Verse 2] The chalkboard glows with a ghostly light As the witch writes runes for the coming night The cat purrs low like a thunder drum And the students’ eyes are all struck dumb They mix the herbs in a copper bowl With a pinch of starlight and a drop of soul The cat leaps up to the highest shelf And the witch just smiles to herself [Bridge] Oh, the bell will ring when the spell is cast But the magic lingers long and fast In the ink of a quill and a cat’s soft paw There’s a lesson in every claw [Chorus] Black cat and the witch classroom Where the shadows dance and the candles bloom Learning magic from a whispered tune Underneath the silver moon Black cat and the witch classroom Where the secrets sleep in a velvet tomb Every lesson spells a doom Or a wish that breaks the gloom [Outro] The cat blinks slow, the witch bows low The candles flicker, the embers glow Class is over, but the magic stays In the black cat’s gaze, in the witch’s ways
