Billie Holiday Magic Remastered Album

11.I Cover The Waterfront

Away from the city that hurts and mocks
I'm standing alone by the desolate docks
in 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
Will the dawn coming on make it light?

I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one Iove
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?
Have you forgotten?
Will you remember?
Will you return?

I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
be coming back to me?

Will the one I love
be coming back to me?
