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 last

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 thought back time
Will you remember
Will you return

Will the one I love
Be coming back
To me
