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

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 thought back time

Will you remember Will you return

Will the one I love Be coming back

To me
