The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Burning of the Midnight Lamp lyrics
[The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Burning of the Midnight Lamp lyrics]
There's nothing left here to lead
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 hanging on my frowning wall
It really doesn't
It 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 laying on the floor
Facing coldly towards the door
So here I sit to face that same old fireplace
Getting ready for the same old explosion
Going through my mind
And soon enough, the time will tell
About the circus in the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me
Someone who will toll my bell
And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp
All alone burn!
Yeah, yeah lonely, lonely, lonely
Loneliness is such a drag!
