(Sitting on the) Dock of the Bay Songtext

(Sitting on the) Dock of the Bay Songtext
Sittin′ in the mornin' sun
I′ll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch ′em roll away again, so
I′m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I′m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time
Time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
Yeah I′ve had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I′m sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Time
Look like nothing′s gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I′ll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won′t leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
So, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo I′m just sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Time
I′ll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch ′em roll away again, so
I′m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I′m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time
Time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
Yeah I′ve had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I′m sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Time
Look like nothing′s gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I′ll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won′t leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
So, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo I′m just sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Time
