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?
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. all alone
please come back to me
