I′ve had many times, I can tell you
Times when innocence I 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
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
They′re the longest
Lay down
Lay down the thoughts of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time
Lay down
Lay down all the dreams you remember
It′s just the same
This miss you game
Diamonds studded heaven
Saw them burning like the jewels that I replaced
And the warm winds that embraced me
Just as surely kissed your face
But these miss you nights
Are the longest
Lay down
Lay down the thoughts of your surrender
It′s only me who's killing time
Lay down
Lay down all the dreams once remembered
It′s just the same
This miss you game
But these miss you nights
Are the longest
