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

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



CHORUS

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

You're what I miss

Every little kiss



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 abscence 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



CHORUS
