give me back the nights

give me back the nights

give me back the agony of my solitary

the nights i spent or love

the million endless solitary nights of my life

give me back all the people i desire that never came

give me back your love

for love which was never really giving

and even the lessons what you gave there was the taking

for you surprise and loving someone more helpless than yourself

give me back the nights. give me back the agony of the years of lonely weary

give me back the thousand rejections of my life

give me back the love which i deserved

give me back the time

the lost time and energy

and beauty of my youth wasted in the wind

and spilled out in imitation when nothing was coming

and the waging

the waging

give me back the nights

i'm sure of lane together

building the great temple of our love

give me back the nights

the nights

the nights

the nights

the nights

the nights

the love

grow

endless that nights.
