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
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
