Song language: English
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? |
