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 starless sky above.
(chorus)
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 come back to me.
(end song with repeat of chorus & last verse)
