Burning Of The Midnight Lamp

The morning is dead and the day is too

There's nothing left here to lead me, but the velvet moon

All my loneliness I have felt today

It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away

And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, alone

Now the smiling portrait of you

Is still hanging on my frowning wall

It really doesn't, it really doesn't bother me too much at all

It's just the eh ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see

That forgotten earring laying on the floor

Facing coldly towards the door

And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, all alone

Burn!

Yeah, yeah

Lonely, lonely, lonely

Loneliness is such a drag!

So here I sit to face that same old fireplace

Getting ready for the same old explosion

Going through my mind

And soon enough the time will tell

About the circus in the wishing well

And someone who will buy and sell for me

Someone who will toll my bell

And I continue to burn the same old lamp, alone

Yeah

Darling, can you hear me calling you?

So lonely

Gotto blow my mind

Yeah, yeah

Lonely, lonely
