0:14Away from the city that hurts and knocks
0:20I'm standing alone by the desolate docks
0:26In the still and the chill of the night
0:32I see the horizon the great unknown
0:39My heart has an ache
0:42It's as heavy as stone
0:45With the dawn coming on make it last
0:52I cover the waterfront
0:58I'm watching the sea
1:04Will the one I love
1:07Be coming back to me
1:18I cover the waterfront
1:24In search of my love
1:30An I'm covered
1:32By a starlit sky above
1:43Here am I
1:47Patiently waiting
1:50Hoping and longing
1:53Oh how I yearn
1:57Where are you
2:00Are you forgeting
2:03Do you remember
2:06Will you return
2:10I cover the waterfront
2:16I'm watching the sea
2:21For the one I love
2:25Must soon come back to me
2:41For the one I love
2:44Must soon come back to me
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 it last 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 An I'm covered By a starlit sky above Here am I Patiently waiting Hoping and longing Oh how I yearn Where are you Are you forgeting 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
