While Annie has continued to make music in recent years – releasing piano tracks Lepidoptera in 2019 – she keeps mainly out of the spotlight and instead focuses on charity campaigns and her political activism.
I Cover the Waterfront
Song by Annie Lennox
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
Will the dawn coming on, make it light
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
And I’m covered by
A starlit sky above
Here am I
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh how I yearn
Where are you
Are you forgetting
Will you remember
Will you return
I cover the waterfront
I’m watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me
