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 had my share of that

But these miss you nights are the longest

Midnight diamonds stud my Heaven
Southwards burning like the jewels that are your face
And warm winds that embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face

Yes, those miss you nights, they're the longest
Ho, oh

(Lay down)
Lay down all thoughts of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time

(Lay down)
Lay down all dreams 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 comforts
I take each day as it arrives

But these miss you nights are the longest
But these miss you nights are the longest
