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 like the jewels that are your face
And the 
warm winds that embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face
Yet these miss 
you nights they're 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 feelings once remembered
It's just the same this miss you 
game

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

But these miss you 
nights are the longest
