Songtext I cover the waterfront Joy Denalane

I cover the waterfront

Away from the city, that hurts and mocks

I'm standing alone, by the disordered 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 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 sky above

Here I am, patiently waiting

hoping and longing, ooh how I yearn

where are you, have you forgotten

will you remember, will you return

I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea

for the one I love must soon come back to me (2x)
