SINGER: Billie Holiday

SONG:I Cover The Waterfront

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
