The morning
is dead
and the
day is, too
There's nothing left
here to meet 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 hangin' on
my frowning wall
It really doesn't,
really doesn't
bother me
too much at all
It's just the
ever falling dust
that makes it so
hard for me to see
That forgotten earring
layin' on the floor
facing coldly
towards the door
I continue
to burn the
midnight lamp
Lord, alone
Burn!
Yeah...
Lonely lonely lonely
Loneliness is
such a drag
So here I sit
to face
that same old
fire place
Gettin' ready for the
same old explosion
goin' through
my mind
And soon enough
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 ol' lamp
Lord, yeah
Darlin' can't ya
hear me callin' you?
So lonely
