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 starless 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

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
