I Cover the Waterfront

Away from the city

That hurts and mocks

I'm standing alone

By the desolate docks

In the still and the chill of the night

I see the rising

That great unknown

My heart has an ache

It's as heavy as stone

Will the dawn comin' on make it light?

I cover the waterfront

I'm watching the sea

Will the one I love

Be coming back to me?

I cover the waterfront

In search of my love

And I'm covered by a star lit sky above

Here am I, patiently waiting

Hoping and longing, oh how I yearn

Where are you?

Are you forgetting?

Do you remember?

Will you return?

I cover the waterfront

I am watching the sea

For the one I love

Must soon come back to me

Here am I, patiently waiting

Hoping and longing, oh, how I yearn

Where are you?

Are you forgetting?

Do you remember?

Will you return?

I cover the waterfront

I am watching the sea

For the one I love

Must soon come back to me

For the one I love

Must soon come back to me
