Burning Of The Midnight Lamp

The is morning dead and the day, is, too.
The step is up here to meet me but the velvet fool.

All my loneliness I have felt today.

Its 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 doesnt doesnt bother really me to watch at all

Its just the ah ever falling love dust that makes it so hard for me to see

that forgotten earring clear on the floor facing coolly the one at the door

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone.

Yeah yeah.

Loneliness is such a drag.

So here sit I to face that same old fire place

getting ready for the same old explosion goin through my mind.

Yes, soon enough time will tell about the circus in the wishing well

and someone who will buy and sell for me, someone who will tow my bail

And I continue to burn the same old lamp alone

Yeah midnight lamp,

Can you hear me callin you?

So lonely. Gotta blow my mind

Yeah yeah yeah Lonely lonely.
