Every Little Kiss Lyrics
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)
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
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
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

The beginning piano lick from this is ripped directly from the Concord Sonata. A beautiful connection to Americana and family.

Bruce despises this song now. Won't play it. Said the emotions that yielded the song no longer are relevant.
Too bad - it's probably his best effort although the entire LP had that lite-rock feel.

I like this song, it takes me back in time and it's fun to listen to. I think anyone can relate.
