Song Description

A man and his guitar come together deep in the night, when the world is asleep and peace is all around, to create the perfect melody

Lyrics

There's an hour before the dawn I swear the world stops spinning
My child lost in a dream beneath a silent moon
Another day has gone another song's beginning
And somewhere in the dark I hear the rhyme inside the tune
And I pick up my guitar and start to write
Burn The Midnight Oil 'til break of light

My days are filled with friends my table loud with laughter
I'm grateful for the gifts heaven chose to give
Night descends I find the verse I'm after
Music makes the most of every moment that I live
Then I pick up that guitar and start to write
Burn The Midnight Oil 'til break of light

There's a melody that's waits for me beyond my evening prayer
I give my child a goodnight kiss and hope her dreams are fair
A few more hours to go I know that perfect chord is waiting there for me
A song has started brewing my soul is set to boil
So I return to Burn the Midnight Oil

Each day we pay a cost fulfilling obligations
Life can pass you by and noise may never cease
We all get lost in empty conversations
So join me in the night and we can share some blessed peace
Just pick up your guitar and start to write
Burn The Midnight Oil let's make music 'til the break of light
