JIMI HENDRIX - BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP ( in album Radio One lyrics

rate me

BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP

THE MORNING IS DEAD

AND THE DAY IS TOO

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT HERE TO GREET 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 STLL HANGIN' ON MY FROWNING WALL

IT REALLY DOESN'T REALLY DOESN'T BOTHER ME, TOO MUCH AT ALL

IT'S JUST THE, UH, EVER FALLING DUST

THAT MAKES IT SO HARD FOR ME TO SEE

THAT FORGOTTEN EAR-RING LAYING ON THE FLOOR

FACING COLDLY TOWARD THE DOOR

AND I CONTINUE

TO BURN THE MIDNIGHT LAMP

ALL ALONE

BURN

LONELY LONELY, YEAH

LONELY LONELY LONELY

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 AND THE WISHINGWELL

AND SOMEONE WHO WILL BUY AND SELL FOR ME

SOMEONE WHO WILL TOLL MY BELL

AND I CONTINUE TO BURN THE MIDNIGHT LAMP

ALONE

DARLIN' DO YOU HEAR ME CALLIN' YOU

SO LONELY

LONELY!
