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
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 to toll my bell
