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, it's as heavy as stone
Will the dawn comin' on make it light?

I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be comin' 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 waitin'
Hoping and longing
Oh, how I yearn

Where are you?
Are you forgettin'?
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
