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 eye my place
And the warm winds that embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face

Yeah, these miss you nights
They're 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
(All my secrets) 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
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 themes once remembered
It's just the same, this miss you game

Yeah, these miss you nights
Are the longest
These miss you nights
Are the longest

These miss you nights (miss you nights)
Are the longest (are the longest)
These miss you nights (oh, these miss you nights)
Are the longest (are the longest)
These miss you nights (miss you nights)
Are the longest (are the longest)

I've had many times, I can tell you
Times when innocence I'd trade for company
