I Cover The Waterfront

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? Will you remember? Will you return?

I cover the waterfront I'm watching the sea Will the one I love be coming back to me.
