Burning of the Midnight Lamp - Take 30

One, two, three, four

The morning is dead and the day is too

There's nothin' 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 smilin' 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, uh, ever-falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see

That forgotten earring layin' on the floor facin' coldly toward the door

And I continuе to burn the midnight lamp all alone

Yeah

Burn

Yеah, yeah

Lonely, lonely, lonely

Loneliness is such a drag[Verse 3]

So here I sit and face that same old fireplace

Gettin' ready for the same old explosion goin' through my mind

And soon enough, time will tell

About the surface in the wishin' 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, yeah, yeah

Goodnight, lamp

Can you hear me callin' you?

So lonely, gotta blow my mind

Yeah, yeah, lonely, lonely

Out of my mind

Yeah
