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
South was burning like the jewels that are your place
Warm winds that embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face
Yeah those miss you nights
They're the longest
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 special day
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
