I Cover the Waterfront Songtext
von Joy Denalane

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
With 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 starlit sky above

Here I am
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh, how I yearn
Where are you
Have you forgotten
Will 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
