sittin' on the dock of the bay Songtext / Lyric

with Otis Redding

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' till the evening starts
Watchin' the ships roll in
And I watch 'em rol laway again

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I got nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way

Sittin' in the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothin's ever gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people want me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin' here restin' my bones
Wish this loneliness would leave me alone
2.000 miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
