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 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?

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 sea

Will the one I love be coming back to me?

Will the one I love be coming back to me?
