miss you nights

ive had many times

i can tell you

times when innocence id trade for company

and children saw me crying

i thought id 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

jst as surely kissed your face

yeah these miss you nights

are the longest

how i miss you

im not likely to tell

im a man and cold day light

buys the pride id rather sell

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 all thought of your surrender

its only me whos killing time

lay down all dreams and themes once remembered

its just the same

this miss you game

yeah these miss you nights

are the longest
