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 

Southwards burning 
lie the jewels 
that eye your place 
Warm winds 

that embrace me 
Just as surely 
kissed your face 
Yeah those miss you nights 

they're the longest  hoah oh 
Lay down all thoughts 
of your surrender 
It's only me 

who's killing time 
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 comfort 
I take each day 
as it arrives 

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