Four Thousand Nights

it’s that hurt-heart heavy
that wishin’ that you’d call
that burnt-spot we both liked a lot

things known only to me and you
baby that’s the glue
that married me to you

it's the silly stupid fun
playin with squirrels and rats and cats
those are the days - days like that
that I’d never give back

you found the strength
to do the unthinkable thing

walkin away...
ain’t never easy
but it gets a bit harder after a decade or two

I gave my third decade to you
never thought it would end the way it did

but of...
the years we spent together
the highs and lows and the rocky roads
I regret a lot
but one thing I regret not,
is sharin’ my third decade with you

four-thousand wake-ups
four-thousand fall-asleeps

four-thousand wake-ups
four-thousand nights next to you…

and I regret a lot
but I regret not
those four-thousand nights with you

four-thousand nights with you
til’ the morning we were through

four-thousand nights with you
sometimes in my dreams
I spend one more night with you...
