Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
For the one I love
Must soon come back to me
[Verse 2]
I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
And I'm covered by
A starless sky above
[Verse 3]
Here am I
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh, how I yearn
Where are you?
Are you forgetting?
Will you remember?
Will you return?
[Verse 4]
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
For the one I love
Must soon come back to me
[Verse 5]
Here am I
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh, how I yearn
Where are you?
Are you forgetting?
Will you remember?
Will you return?
[Verse 6]
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
For the one I love
Must soon come back to me
[Verse 7]
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me?
