Lyrics:

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
Some are warm winds 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
