Away from the city that 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

With 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

An I'm covered

By a starlit sky above

Here am I

Patiently waiting

Hoping and longing

Oh how I yearn

Where are you?

Have you forgotten?

Will you remember?

Will you return?

I cover the waterfront

I'm watching the sea

Will the one I love

Be coming back to me?

Will the one I love

Be coming back to me?
