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 strlit sky above

Here am I patiently waiting, hoping and longing
Oh, how I yearn
Where are you?
Are you forgetting?
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?

[Verse 1]
Away from the city that hurts and knocks
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

[Chorus]
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me

[Post-Chorus]
I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
And I'm covered by
A starlit sky above

[Verse 2]
Here am I
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh how I yearn

Where are you
Are you forgetting
Will you remember
Will you return

[Chorus]
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me
