I Cover the Waterfront

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Away from the city that hurts and mocksI'm standing alone by the desolate docksIn the still and the chill of the nightI see the horizon, the great unknownMy heart has an ache its as heavy as stoneWill the dawn coming on make it light?I cover the waterfrontI'm watching the seaWill the one I love be coming back to me?I cover the waterfrontIn search of my loveAnd I'm covered by a starless sky aboveHere am I patiently waiting, hoping and longingOh, how I yearn!Where are you?Are you forgetting?Will you remember?Will you return?I cover the waterfrontI'm watching the seaWill the one I love be coming back to me
