there's nothing left here to greet me but the velvet moon
C# G#
all my loneliness I have felt today
D# F#
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone

(repeat intro)
Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall
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
And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone
