billie holiday – i cover the waterfront (1956 / carnegie hall) lyrics
Loading...
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 light
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 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?
will the one i love
be coming back to me?
