Billie Holiday - I Cover The Waterfront lyrics

Johnny w. green / edward heyman 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
