Dolly Parton Burning The Midnight Oil Lyrics

Home > P > Dolly Parton > Burning The Midnight Oil Lyrics

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 away



And tonight I'll sit home a thinking

And tonight I'll sit home a drinking

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

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil

[ fiddle - steel ]

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 thinking...

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil
