Billie Holiday - I Cover The Waterfront Lyrics

Johnny w. green / edward heyman 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 An 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 Billie Holiday Lyrics I Cover The Waterfront Lyrics
