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

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
