Burning Of The Midnight Lamp
By Jimi Hendrix
[00:28] The morning is dead and the day, is, too.
[00:34] The step is up here to meet me but the velvet fool.
[00:39] All my loneliness I have felt today.
[00:45] It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away.
[00:51] And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone.
[00:59]
[01:18] Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall
[01:25] It really doesn't really doesn't bother me to watch at all
[01:31] It's just the ah ever falling love dust that makes it so hard for me to see
[01:38] that forgotten earring clear on the floor facing coolly the one at the door
[01:44] And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone.
[01:51]
[01:59] Yeah yeah.
[02:05] Lonely lonely lonely.
[02:07]
[02:18] Loneliness is such a drag.
[02:23]
[02:37] So here I sit to face that same old fire place
[02:43] getting' ready for the same old explosion goin' through my mind.
[02:49] Yes, soon enough time will tell about the circus in the wishing well
[02:55] and someone who will buy and sell for me, someone who will tow my bail
[03:02] And I continue to burn the same old lamp alone
[03:09]
[03:12] Yeah midnight lamp,
[03:16] Can you hear me callin' you?
[03:19] So lonely. Gotta blow my mind
[03:23] Yeah, yeah. Lonely lonely.
