Introd: Away from the city the 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 Will the dawn coming on make it last? Melody: I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea; Will the one that I love be coming back to me? I cover the waterfront, in search of my love, And I'm covered by a deep blue sky above. Bridge: 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, 'Cause the one that I love will soon come back to me.
