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
