Burning the Midnight Oil lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we sit lookin' at each other
Seems we're at a loss of what to say
Ties bind us both to someone else
We don't want to hurt, but we must break away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
