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 its 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
