I've had many times I can tell you <br />Times when innocence I trade for company <br />And children saw me crying <br />I thought I'd had my share of that <br />But these miss you nights are the longest <br />Midnight diamonds, stud my heaven <br />Southward burning lie the jewels that I obey <br />And a warm wind that embrace me <br />Just as surely kissed your face <br />Yeah these miss you nights, they're the longest <br />How I missed you <br />How I missed you, I'm not likely to tell <br />I'm a man, the cold daylight buys the pride I'd rather sell <br />Oh my secret <br />Oh my secrets are a wasted affair <br />You know them well <br />Thinking of my going <br />How to cut the thread and leave it all behind <br />Looking windward for my comfort <br />I take each day as it arrives <br />But these miss you nights are the longest <br />Lay down <br />Lay down all thoughts of your surrender <br />It's only me who's killing time <br />Lay down <br />Lay down all dreams and things once remembered <br />It's just the same, this miss you game <br />Yeah these miss you nights are the longest <br /> <br />Songwriter: Dave Townsend
