[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Midnight diamonds stud my heaven
Southward burning like the jewels that eye your place
And the warm winds that embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face
Yeah, these miss-you nights
They're the longest

[Verse 2]
Thinking of my going (oooh-ooh)
How to cut the thread and leavе it all behind (ooh-ooh)
Looking windward, for my compass (ooooh)
I'll take each day as it arrivеs (oooh-oooh)
But these miss you nights
Are the longest

[Verse 3]
(Lay down) Lay down all thoughts of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time
(Play down) Play down all these dreams remembered
It's just the same, this miss-you game
[Outro]
Yet these miss-you nights
Are the longest
