I Cover the Waterfront Songtext
von Paula Cole

Away from the city
That hurts and mocks
I′m standing alone
By the daze of the darks
In the still and the chill of the night

I see the horizon
The great unknown
My heart hasn't ache
It′s as heavy as stone
Will the dawn come along
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 of the sky above

Here am I patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh, how I yearn
Where are you?
Are you forgiving?
Do you remember?
Will you return?

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