Burning Of The Midnight Lamp lyrics

Morning is dead and the day is, too See, there's nothing left for me here 'Cept that velvet Moon See, all my loveliness that I have felt today It's enough to make a man throw his life away See, I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone The smiling portrait of you Still hangs on my frowning wall Really doesn't matter to me Not much at all See, It's that ever falling dust That makes it hard for me to see That earring on the floor Make only to walk that door Then I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone Here I sit today By that same old fireplace Waiting for the same old explosion Goin' through my mind See, soon enough time will tell About the circus and the wishing well And who will write a song for me And who will ring my bell See, I continue to burn the midnight lamp all alone All alone
