License This Song 

• 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
  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
  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 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
  You're what I miss
  Every little kiss Writer/s: BRUCE HORNSBY

• Paul from Rhode IslandI was living in mid-Massachusetts when this song first came out with my 'bride' & 4 beautiful children. I bought the cassette immediately & loved every minute of it. He got residuals from it; some, my $. When I moved to Northampton MA., I saw him there & he wouldn't do this song even after the audience BEGGED often through the night. I guess he had his reasons, but to us in the audience, he was there to please us, as we paid for the ticket and felt screwed by his ignoring a song we expected. I like the guy but he needs to refund me some....jerk.
