I Cover the Waterfront Lyrics

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 lastI cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to meI cover the waterfront
In search of my love
An I'm covered
By a starlit sky aboveHere 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
