Let me very freely think out loud about the possible meaning.
I want to believe this song is about consulting your solitary self on whether and how to move on. To give your life a new direction, you feel you must plott a new course ( "looking windward for my compass") and not keep your focus on what once was good.
To reduce the prominance and presence of thoughts ("once remembered") of love that was good, but now gone forever. To raise anchor by dimming the overwhelming sensation of loneliness ("this miss you game") to the right proportion in order to open yourself up for a new love that is out there somewhere to enter into your daily life, and become embraced as real and tangible, provided you do encourage yourself to "leave it all behind".
All the while during what seems a starry night under a familiar sky, you feel at ease and at home within your dreams, that like 'midnight diamonds stud" your "heaven". It all bring back a familiar feeling (that the average grown man will remember from his childhood days, before becoming a teenager) of not being in control of your own destiny.
Not being in charge of a situation, is what makes boys cry, whilst grown men turn silent and start failing to show empathy and emotion, thinking they had had their "share of that".
Possibly the line "Southward burning, lie the jewels that I obey" - that I'd very much like to get explained - makes some reference to asking others who know a few more secrets about live, to guide you as a man in such a situation.
As they once did share that wisdom ("Summer warm winds ... surely kissed your face") with the one, that knew but is gone and now so missed.
But then there is a risk in asking and accepting guidance from someone new, as it could turn out to be a bad swap, trading your "innocence for company".
You fear that by doing so you'll "buy the pride you'd rather sell" as your secrets might end up being squandered on a "wasted affair" not worth "your surrender".
@UnlikelyToTell It seems that the correct phrase is "Southward burning lie the jewels that eye your place". If that\'s the case, I think the whole verse implies that both parts are living under the same sky and feeling the same wind. While he is alone observing the stars and feeling the warm wind, he realizes that she is also watching the same stars and feeling the same wind.

I reckon it is something like that ...
