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
With the dawn coming on, make it light

I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
For the one I love
Must soon come back to me

I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
And I'm covered
By a starlit sky above

Here I am
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
For the one I love
Must soon come back to me

For the one I love
Must soon come back to me
