Burning Of The Midnight Lamp Lyrics

BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP

 

 THE MORNING IS DEAD

 AND THE DAY IS TOO

 THERE'S NOTHING LEFT HERE TO GREET ME

 BUT THE VELEVET 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 STLL HANGIN' ON MY FROWNING WALL

 IT REALLY DOESN'T REALLY DOESN'T BOTHER ME TOO MUCH AT ALL

 IT'S JUST THE, UH, EVER FALLING DUST 

 THAT MAKES IT SO HARD FOR ME TO SEE

 THAT FORGOTTEN EAR-RING LAYING ON THE FLOOR

 FACING COLDLY TOWARD THE DOOR

 AND I CONTINUE

 TO BURN THE MIDNIGHT LAMP

 ALL ALONE

 

 BURN

 LONELY LONELY, YEAH

 LONELY LONELY LONELY

 LONELINESS IS SUCH A, DRAG

 

 SO HERE I SIT TO FACE 

 THAT SAME OLD FIRE PLACE 

 GETTIN' READY FOR THE SAM OLD EXPLOSION

 GOIN' THROUGH MY MIND 

 AND SOON ENOUGH TIME WILL TELL

 ABOUT THE CIRCUS AND THE WISHINGWELL

 AND SOMEONE WHO WILL BUY AND SELL FOR ME

 SOMEONE WHO WILL TOLL MY BELL 

 AND I CONTINUE TO BURN THE MIDNIGHT LAMP 

 ALONE

 

 DARLIN' DO YOU HERE ME CALLIN' YOU

 SO LONELY

 LONELY!
