BILLIE HOLIDAY - I Cover The Waterfront lyrics

Johnny w. green / edward heyman<br><br>Away from the city that hurts and knocks,<br>I'm standing alone by the desolate docks<br>In the still and the chill of the night<br>I see the horizon the great unknown<br>My heart has an ache<br>It's as heavy as stone<br>With the dawn coming on, make it last<br><br>I cover the waterfront<br>I'm watching the sea<br>Will the one I love<br>Be coming back to me<br><br>I cover the waterfront<br>In search of my love<br>An I'm covered<br>By a starlit sky above<br><br>Here am i<br>Patiently waiting<br>Hoping and longing<br>Oh how I yearn<br>Where are you<br>Have you thought back time<br>Will you remember<br>Will you return<br><br>Will the one I love<br>Be coming back<br>To me
