Way out here, working on the docks
Everyone sees the long day through
Well what would I do without the nights?
And the phone and the chance just to talk to you
Oh what would I do now, hey, just to talk to you?
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight or someday
When times weren't so tight
When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I, I need you now
Yes you're what I miss, every little kiss
Every little one, every little one
Everybody here's a number, not a name
But I guess that's all right with me
As I sit alone after a long day
In the absence of company
Oh I let my mind wander, hey yea
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight or someday
When times weren't so tight
When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I, I need you now
Yes you're what I miss, every little kiss
Every little one, every little one, hey yea
Hey hey
What I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight or someday
When times weren't so tight
When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I, I need you now
Yes you're what I miss, every little kiss
Every little one, every little one, hey hey
i see this as, in these hard financial times, a guy who has to live away from the woman that he loves working the job that he needs to get thru in this world today.
