I Cover the Waterfront Songtext
von Ann Burton

Away from the city that hurts and knocks
I′m standing alone by the desolate docks
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
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 starless sky above


Here am I patiently waiting
Hoping and waiting oh, how I yearn
Where are you?
Are you forgetting?
Will you remember and will you return?

I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
And I'm covered by
A starless sky above

Here am I patiently waiting
Hoping and waiting oh, how I yearn
Where are you?
Are you forgetting?
Will you remember and will you return?

I cover the waterfront
I′m watching the sea
For the one I love
Must soon come back to me
I′m watching the sea.
