Billie Holiday - I The Waterfront Live At Carnegie Hall 1956 Lyrics

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
