(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay Songtext
von The Academy Allstars

Sittin′ in the mornin' sun
I′ll be sleepin' when the evenin' come
Watching those ships roll in
Then I watch ′em roll away again, man

I′m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin′ the tide rollin' away
I′m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time

I left my home in New Georgia
Headin' for a 'Frisco bay
Since I got nothing to live for
Looks like nothing′s gonna come my way


So, I′m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin′ the tide roll away, mm
I'm just sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Just wastin' time

Look like nothing′s gonna change
Everythin' still remains the same
Well, I can do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I remain the same

I'm sittin′ here restin′ my bones
But this loneliness won't leave me alone, man
Just two thousand miles I run
Just to make this dock my home

So I′m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide rollin′ away, mm
I'm gon′ sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
