from the songs album Born To Fly
(bruce hornsby)
Way out here working on the docks
Everyone sees the long day through
Oh, what would i do
Without the nights and the phone
And the chance just to talk to you
Oh, what would i do now
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 need you now
Yeah, 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 alright with me
As i sit alone after a long day
In the absence of company
Oh, i let my mind wander
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 need you now
Yeah, you're what i miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, every little one
