I Cover The Waterfront

I Cover The Waterfront - Frankie laine

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 its 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 starless sky above

Here am I patiently waiting hoping and longing

Oh how I yearn

Where are you

Are you 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

Here am I patiently waiting hoping and longing

Oh how I yearn

Where are you

Are you 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

Come back come back to me
