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? Dalt 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.
