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
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
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 forgetting?
Do you remember?
Will you return?
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me

For the one I love
Must soon come back
To me
