Billie Holiday Lyrics

"I Cover the Waterfront" lyrics


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
and 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
must soon come back
to me

for the one I love
must soon come back
to me
