sitting on the dock of the bay

Otis Redding

Sitting in the morning sun
I ll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch em roll away again

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I m just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
Cause I had nothin to live for
And look like nothing s gonna come my way

So I m just
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I m just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting 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

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

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I m just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
Cause I had nothin to live for
And look like nothing s gonna come my way
