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
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 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
Lover come back to me
