I Cover the Waterfront

I Cover the Waterfront - Sammy Davis Jr.

Away from the city

That hurts and knocks

I'm standing alone

By the lonely docks

In the still and the chill of the night

I see the horizon

The great unknown

And my heart has an ache

It's as heavy as stone

With the dawn coming on

Make it last

I cover the waterfront

I am 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 starlit sky above

Oh

Here am I

Patiently waiting

Hoping and longing

Oh how I yearn

Where are you

Are you fall again

Do you remember

Will you return

I cover the

What your friends

I keep watching the sea

What was I love

Mosune coming back to me

Oh

The one I love

Mosune coming back

To me
