《The Burning Of The Midnight Lamp》歌词

[00:00:01] the burning of the midnight lamp - minnie riperton

[00:00:36] the morning is dead

[00:00:39] and the day is too

[00:00:42] there's nothing left here to greet me

[00:00:45] but the velvet moon

[00:00:48] all my loneliness

[00:00:51] i have felt today

[00:00:54] it's a little more than enough

[00:00:56] to make a man throw himself away

[00:01:01] and i continue

[00:01:04] to burn the midnight lamp

[00:01:07] alone

[00:01:35] now the smiling portrait of you

[00:01:37] is stll hangin' on my frowning wall

[00:01:41] but it really- really doesn't

[00:01:43] bother me- too much at all

[00:01:46] it's just the- uh- everfalling dust

[00:01:49] that makes it so hard for me to see

[00:01:52] that forgotten ear-ring laying on the floor

[00:01:54] facing coldly toward the door

[00:01:59] and i continue

[00:02:02] to burn the midnight lamp

[00:02:05] whoa, alone

[00:03:29] the morning is dead

[00:03:31] and the day is too

[00:03:35] there's nothing left here to greet me

[00:03:37] but the velvet moon

[00:03:40] all my loneliness

[00:03:43] i have felt today

[00:03:46] it's a little more than enough

[00:03:49] to make a man throw himself away

[00:03:54] and i continue

[00:03:56] to burn the midnight lamp

[00:03:59] alone
