Elysian Fields

I Cover The Waterfront
(Billie Holiday's cover)
Away from the city, the 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
Will the dawn coming on make it last?
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one that I love be coming back to me?
I cover the waterfront
In search of my love,
And I'm covered by a starless sky above.
Here am I patiently waiting

In search of my love,
And I'm covered by a starless sky above.
Here am I patiently waiting
Hoping and longing.
Oh, how I yearn...
Where are you? Are you forgetting?
Do you remember? Will you return?
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one that I love be coming back to me?
