Johnny w. green / edward heyman



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
