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
