Intro: 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
