Burnin’ The Midnight Oil Lyrics by Foghat

Night Shift

0

Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
Shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
She's gone and I know, that the pain is beginnin' to show, I'm hurting inside
My world fell apart, but love's still burning in my heart, but where can I hide?
Love turned to stone, and I'm tired of bein' alone
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil - Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil
There's a voice in my head runnin' over everything she said, and I can't erase it
Love was a game, well I lost and it's a cryin' shame, but I gotta face it
Nowhere to go, and time is moving slow
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil - Yeah, burnin'...
Burnin' the midnight oil - hot water getting ready to boil
Drink coffee 'til my nerves are wired - I'm so high, I think I'll never be tired
Feeling sad and I'm mad, all the bad luck that I've had
{Rod - Solo}
Shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
Shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
I'll lay back on my bed, memories runnin' through my head, I tried to forget
The clock's striking twelve, I'm still trying to convince myself it's not over yet
Love turned to stone, and I'm tired of bein' alone
Yea, burnin' the midnight oil - Yea-ee-yea, burnin' the midnight oil
