Jimi Hendrix - The Burning Of The Midnight Lamp lyrics

Your rating:

The lyrics are a little hard to decipher on the recording so I thought I'd try to clarify...

The morning is dead, but the day is too
There's nothing left here to greet me, but the velvet moon
All my lonliness I have felt today
It's a little more than enough to make a man through 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 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 so coldly towards the door
And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone
(Lonliness is such a drag)
So here I sit to face that same old fireplace
Gettin' ready for that same old explosion goin' through my mind
And soon enough time will tell about the circus and the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me
Someone who will toll my bell
And I continue to burn the same old lamp alone (GODDAMN!)

corrections welcome...hope it helps a little...
