I Cover The Waterfront Lyrics - At Storyville - Billie Holiday

Away from the city that hurts and mocks 

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 its as heavy as stone. 

Will the dawn coming on make it light? 

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? 

Areyou forgetting? 

Doyou 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.
