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 its 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? Do you remember ? Will you return? I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea For the one I love must soon come back to me For the one I love must soon come back to me
