I Cover the Waterfront
Johnny Green, Edward Heyman
[Verse]
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 come along, make it light?
[Chorus]
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 sky above
Here am I patiently waiting
Hoping and longing, oh, how I yearn
Where arе you? Are you forgetting?
Do you remеmber? Will you return?
I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea
For the one I love must soon come back to me
For the one I love must soon come back to me
