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

And 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 serpents in the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me
Someone to toll my bell

But I continue
To burn the same old lamp
Lord, alone

Darlin' can't ya hear me callin' you
So lonely
Gonna blow my mind
Yeah, yeah
Lonely, lonely.
