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

Lie the jewels that burn my place

And the warm winds

That embrace me

Just as surely kissed your face

Yeah these miss you nights

Are the longest



How I miss you

I'm not likely to tell

I'm a (wo)man and 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 compass

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.
