I Cover the Waterfront - Billie Holiday (比莉·哈乐黛)

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

Do you remember

Will you return

Will the one I love

Be coming back

To me
