1. THE BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP

The morning is dead and the day is too
There’s nothing left here to leave me, but the velvet Moo-oon  
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 la-amp, alo-one

Now the smiling portrait of you
Is still hanging on my frowning wa-all
It really doesn’t, really doesn’t bother me too much at a-all
It’s just the ah, 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 same old lamp, all alo-o-o-one, yeah

Family

Yeah, yeah
Lonely, lonely, lonely

Loneliness is such a drag

So here I sit to face, that same old fireplace 
Gettin’ ready for the dull explosion
Goin’ through my mi-ind 
And soon enough time will tell
About the circus in the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me 
Someone to toll my bell

[Shake up his mind 
Wake up and see danger
She has just left me alone
Don’t give a damn,] ??
Darling, can
Can you hear me calling you?
So lonely, yeah, gonna blow my mind 
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So-o lonely

Aud: [Cheers and applause]
JS  : Ladies and gentlemen ‘The Burning Of The Midnight Lamp’ there at number sixteen, 
by one of the finest guitarists we’ve had on the set, Jimi Hendrix, how about that then.”
