Burning The Midnight Oil Lyrics

Writer Porter Wagoner

Here we sit lookin' at each other seems we're at a loss for what to say

Ties bind us both with someone else we don't want to hurt but we must break 

And tonight I'll sit home a thinkin' and tonight I'll sit home a drinkin'

We both live in seperate homes where there's no love at all

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil

Tomorrow we'll meet here in the same place where love and desires just won't 

wait

In each other's 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'...

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil
