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

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 soon come back to me
