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
 Jst 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 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
 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
