[Intro]
Away from the city that hurts and mocks
I'm standing alone by these lonely docks
In the still and the chill of the night
I see the horizon, the great unknown
And my heart has an ache, it’s as heavy as stone
Will the dawn coming on make it light?
[Verse 1]
I cover the waterfront
I am watching the sea
Will the one I love be coming back to me?
[Verse 2]
I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
And I'm covered by a starless 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?
[Verse 3]
I cover the waterfront
I keep watching the sea
For the one I love must soon come back to me
[Outro]
For the one I love must soon come back to me
I Cover the Waterfront was written by Edward Heyman & Johnny Green.
