Away from the city that hurts and mocks 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 An I'm covered by A starlit sky above Here am I patiently waiting Hoping and longing, oh how I yearn Where are you, are you forgetting? Do you remember, will you return? I cover the waterfront I'm watching the sea For the one I love By soon come back to me For the one I love By soon come back to me
