I Cover The Waterfront

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 on make it last

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

An I'm covered

By a starlit 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 a sea

Will the one I love

Must soon come back to me

Here am I patiently waiting

Hoping and longing ooh how I've yearned

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
