Miss You Nights

I've had many times I can tell you

Times when innocence I 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 I obey

And a warm wind that embrace me

Just as surely kissed your face

Yeah these miss you nights, they're the longest

How I missed you

How I missed you, I'm not likely to tell

I'm a man, the cold daylight buys the pride I'd rather sell

Oh my secret

Oh 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 comfort

I take each day as it arrives

But these miss you nights are the longest

Lay down

Lay down all thoughts of your surrender

It's only me who's killing time

Lay down

Lay down all dreams and things once remembered

It's just the same, this miss you game

Yeah these miss you nights are the longest
