Away from the city that hurts and knocks I'm standing alone by the desolate docks 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 For the one I love Must soon come 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 waiting oh, how I yearn Where are you? Are you forgetting? Will you remember and will you return? 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 waiting oh, how I yearn Where are you? Are you forgetting? Will you remember and will you return? I cover the waterfront I'm watching the sea For the one I love Must soon come back to me I'm watching the sea.
