Duke Ellington

I Cover the Waterfront
Away from the city that hurts and knocks,I'm standing alone by the desolate docksIn the still and the chill of the nightI see the horizon the great unknownMy heart has an acheIt's as heavy as stoneWith the dawn coming on, make it lastI cover the waterfrontI'm watching the seaWill the one I loveBe coming back to meI cover the waterfrontIn search of my love An I'm coveredBy a starlit sky aboveHere am IPatiently waitingHoping and longingOh how I yearnWhere are youHave you thought back timeWill you rememberWill you returnWill the one I loveBe coming backTo me Aus Songtexte Mania
