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? |
