"Miss You Nights" lyrics

Miss You Nights

I've had many times
I can tell you
Times when innocence
I'd trade for company
And children
Saw me crying
Well, I thought I'd had my share of that

But these miss you nights
Are the longest

Midnight diamonds
Stud my heaven
Southward burning
Lie the jewels that eye your place
And warm winds
That embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face

But these miss you nights
Are the longest

How I miss you
How I miss you
I'm not likely to tell
I'm a man
And cold day light
Buys the pride I'd rather sell
And all my secrets
Are wasted affair
You know them well

Thinking
Of my going
How to cut the thread
And leave it all behind
Looking windward
For my compass
Well, I take each day as it arrives

But these miss you nights
Are the longest

Lay down all thoughts
Of your surrender
It's only me
Who's killing time
Lay down all dreams
And themes once remembered
It's just the same
This miss you game

But these miss you nights
Are the longest
