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 have you thought back time will you remember will you return will the one i love be coming back to me
