I Cover the Waterfront

I Cover the Waterfront - Russell Garcia

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

With the dawn coming in, make it late

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

A starlit sky above

Here am I

Patiently waiting

Hoping and longing

Oh how I yearn

Where are you

Are your 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
