I Cover The Waterfront

Away from the city that hurts and mocks

I'm standing alone by the desolate docks

In still and the chill of the night

I see the horizon, the great unknown

My heart has an ache, it's as heavy as stone

Will the dawn coming on make it light?

I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea

Will the one love be coming back to me?

I cover the waterfront in search of my love

And I'm covered by a starlit sky above

Here am I, patiently waiting

Hoping and longing, oh, how I yearn

Where are you? Have you forgotten?

Will you remember? Will you return?

I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea

Will the one I love be coming back to me?

Will the one I love be coming back to me?
