Words that rhyme with Weaver
You can read weaver two ways: as a household-word, or as a two-syllable shape on the /ɜːr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel that flows into the next line via a liquid. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. From the rhyme-data side: there are a few perfect rhymes, no more, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. From the lyric side, it works as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Reach for assonance first; the strict list is the safety net underneath it.

Why weaver rhymes the way it does
In our engine, weaver registers as a two-syllable word on the /ɜːr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ɜːr/) that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 154, assonance 3,464, and consonance 237. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Weaver rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
