Lyrics

[00:28.17] The morning is dead and the day, is, too.
[00:34.36] The step is up here to meet me but the velvet fool.
[00:40.35] All my loneliness I have felt today.
[00:46.65] It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away.
[00:53.46] And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone.
[01:19.39] Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall
[01:26.09] It really doesn't really doesn't bother me to watch at all
[01:31.79] It's just the ah ever falling love dust that makes it so hard for me to see
[01:38.47] that forgotten earring clear on the floor facing coolly the one at the door
[01:45.03] And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone.
[01:56.66] Yeah yeah.
[02:07.58] Lonely lonely lonely.
[02:20.07] Loneliness is such a drag.
[02:39.12] So here I sit to face that same old fire place
[02:45.34] getting' ready for the same old explosion goin' through my mind.
[02:51.36] Yes, soon enough time will tell about the circus in the wishing well
[02:57.86] and someone who will buy and sell for me, someone who will tow my bail
[03:04.54] And I continue to burn the same old lamp alone
[03:10.50] Yeah midnight lamp,
[03:17.81] Can you hear me callin' you?
[03:21.52] So lonely. Gotta blow my mind
[03:26.02] Yeah, yeah. Lonely lonely.
