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 eye your place

summer warm winds

That embrace me

Just as surely kissed your face

Yeah these miss you nights

They're the longest

How I miss you

I'm not likely to tell

I'm a man

Cold day light

Buys the pride I'd rather sell

All 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 all thoughts of your surrender

It's only me who's killing time

Lay down all dreams

and themes once remembered

It's just the same

This miss you game

Yeah these miss you nights

Are the longest
