"Too Many Nights Alone" lyrics

Too Many Nights Alone

Midnight flights
And barroom lights
And rolling for three days and nights
And motel rooms
Have been my only home

They gave me these
Sad knowing eyes
And old age lines before my time
I guess I spent
Too many nights alone

Denver trains
And LA games
Taxis through the New York rain
On everybody's party
But my own

Telling myself
Love could wait
Now maybe girl
You've come too late
I may have spent
Too many nights alone

I never let nobody
Any closer than my body
And I never needed someone till now
And you know I want so much to
Reach out my soul and touch you
But I don't know
If I know how

Cause midnight flights
And barroom lights
And rolling for three days and nights
And open roads
Have been my only home

Learning ways
To say goodbye
And songs that only make me cry
I guess I spent
Too many nights alone
Too many nights alone
