These 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 burn my place
And the warm winds
That embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face
Yeah these miss you nights
Are the longest

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
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
Im taking 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
Yeah these miss you nights
Are the longest.

Im not likely to tell anyone
Neither am I ever going to forget
This wound would go away someday,
But for now,
Yeah these miss you nights,
Are the longest.
