I Cover The Waterfront Lyrics

Away from the city, that hurts and mocks

I'm standing alone, by the disordered 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 starlit sky above



Here I am, patiently waiting

hoping and longing, ooh how I yearn

where are you, have you forgotten

will 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 (2x)
