Burning the Midnight Oil

Here we sit lookin' at each other

Seems we're at a loss of what to say

Ties bind us both too someone else

We don't want to hurt but we must break away

And tonight I'll sit home a' thinkin'

And tonight I'll sit home a' drinkin'

We both live in separate homes

Where there's no love at all

Stayin' up late, burnin' the midnight oil

Tomorrow, we'll meet here in this same place

With love and desire that just won't wait

In each others' arms we'll dream for a little while

Then when it's time to leave it'll nearly drive us wild

And tonight again I'll sit home a' thinkin'

And tonight again I'll sit home a' drinkin'

We both live in separate homes

Where there's no love at all

Stayin' up late, burnin' the midnight oil
