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 says heavy stone. Will the dawn come along and 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 starlit 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. For the one I love must soon come back to me.
