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

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 I might place

And the warm winds that embrace me

Just as surely kiss your face

Yeah, 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 daylight

Buys the pride I'd rather sell

(All my secrets)

All my secrets

Are a 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

I take each day as it arrives

But these miss you nights

Are the longest

(Lay down)

Lay down all thought

Of your surrender

It's only me who's killing time

(Lay down)

Lay down all dreams

And things once remembered

It's just the same

This miss you game

Yeah, these miss you nights

Are the longest
