Away from the city that hurts and mocks

I'm standing alone by the desolate docks

in 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 Iove

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 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?
