The  is  morning  dead  and  the  day,  is,  too.

The  step  is  up  here  to  meet  me  but  the  velvet  fool.

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  hanging  on  my  frowning  wall

It  really  doesn't  doesn't  bother  really  me  to  watch  at  all

It's  just  the  ah  ever  falling  love  dust  that  makes  it  so  hard  for  me  to  see

that  forgotten  earring  clear  on  the  floor  facing  coolly  the  one  at  the  door

And  I  continue  to  burn  the  midnight  lamp  alone.

Yeah  yeah.

Loneliness  is  such  a  drag.

So  here  sit  I  to  face  that  same  old  fire  place

getting'  ready  for  the  same  old  explosion  goin'  through  my  mind.

Yes,  soon  enough  time  will  tell  about  the  circus  in  the  wishing  well

and  someone  who  will  buy  and  sell  for  me,  someone  who  will  tow  my  bail

And  I  continue  to  burn  the  same  old  lamp  alone

Yeah  midnight  lamp,

Can  you  hear  me  callin'  you?

So  lonely.  Gotta  blow  my  mind

Yeah  yeah  yeah  Lonely  lonely.
