Burning Of the Midnight Lamp

Jimi Hendrix

Intr: The morning is dead And the day is, too There's nothing left here to meet 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 {Intr.} Now the smiling portrait of you Is still hangin' 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 coldly towards the door I continue To burn the midnight lamp Lord, alone {SOLO} Loneliness is such a drag {Intr.} 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 serpents in the wishing well And someone who will buy and sell for me Someone to toll my bell But I continue To burn the midnight lamp Lord, alone () Darlin' can't ya hear me callin' you? So lonely Gonna have to blow my mind Lonely
