I Cover the Waterfront [Album Version]
Edward Heyman, John W. Green
Away from the city that hurts and mocks
I'm standing alone by the distorted docks
In the still and the chill of the night
I see the horizon the great unknown
My heart has an ache
Its 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
Uh, how I yearn
Where are you
Have you forget time
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
