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 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 I 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?

Are you forgetting?

Do you remember?

Will you return?



I cover the waterfront

I'm 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.
