Working Nights

Working nights can be a
Long hard row to hoe.
It's not easy for the ones
You work for or the ones you love.

Wife has an empty bed
At night and children have
Empty days, the sun will
Rarely see my face.

Life goes on around me and
I'll miss and not see
A lot, I'll see a lot
Of the moon and the stars.

Sunrise to end my day,
Sunset to start my way.
How I miss the sunshine
And the blue sky.

I'll watch and I'll wait
Through the night for the
Day, the day I'll not
Have to work the night anymore.
