Tony Bennett — I Cover the Waterfront

Away from the city that hurts and mocks 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 its 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 starless sky above 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 For the one I love must soon come back to me All alone Please come back to me
