Morning is dead and the day is, too
See, there's nothing left for me here
'Cept that velvet Moon
See, all my loveliness that I have felt today
It's enough to make a man throw his life away
See, I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone
The smiling portrait of you
Still hangs on my frowning wall
Really doesn't matter to me
Not much at all
See, It's that ever falling dust
That makes it hard for me to see
That earring on the floor
Make only to walk that door
Then I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone
Here I sit today
By that same old fireplace
Waiting for the same old explosion
Goin' through my mind
See, soon enough time will tell
About the circus and the wishing well
And who will write a song for me
And who will ring my bell
See, I continue to burn the midnight lamp all alone
All alone
