Billie Holiday I Cover the Waterfront lyrics
I Cover the Waterfront lyrics by Billie Holiday
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, 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, are you forgetting?
Do you remember, will you return?
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
For the one I love
By soon come back to me
For the one I love
By soon come back to me
