I Cover the Waterfront

Away from the city that hurts and mocks I'm standing alone by the desolate docks In 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 Will the dawn coming on make it light? I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea Will the one love be coming back to me? I cover the waterfront in search of my love And I'm covered by a starlit sky above Here am I, patiently waiting Hoping and longing, oh, how I yearn Where are you? Have you forgotten? 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? Will the one I love be coming back to me?
