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 says heavy stone.

Will the dawn come along and 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 starlit sky above

Here am I patiently waiting, hoping and longing

Oh, how I yearn!

Where are you?

Areyou forgetting?

Doyou remember?

Will you return?

I cover the waterfront

I'm watching the sea

For the one I love must soon come back to me.

For the one I love must soon come back to me.
