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. 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 starless sky above
Here am I, patiently waiting, Hoping and longing. Oh, how I yearn! Where are you? Are you forgetting? Will you remember ? Will you return?
I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea Will the one I love be coming back to me
