I Cover The Waterfront

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
