Intro
Verse 1
I've had many times, I can tell you,
times when innocence,
I'd trade for compa-n - y.
And child-ren saw me cry-ing,
I thought I'd had my share of that.
But these miss you nights,
are the longest.
Verse 2
Midnight dia-monds, stud my hea-ven,
southward burning,
lie the jewels that eye your pla - ce.
And warm winds, that em-brace me,
just as surely kissed your face.
Yeah these miss you nights,
they're the longest.
Chorus 1
(How I missed you),
how I missed you, I'm not likely to tell.
I'm a man, and cold daylight,
buys the pride I'd rather sell.
(All my secrets),
all my secrets, are a wasted af-fair,
you know them well.
Verse 3
Think-ing of my go-ing,
how to cut the thread,
and leave it all be-hi-nd.
Looking wind-ward, for my compass,
I take each day as it ar-rives.
But these miss you nights,
are the longest.
Chorus 2
(Lay down), lay down all thoughts,
of your sur-render,
it's only me who's killing time.
(Lay down), lay down all dreams,
and themes once re-membered.
it's just the same, this miss you game.
