"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" lyrics

"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"
(originally by Otis Redding)

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

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

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothing to live for
Looks like nothings gonna come my way

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

Looks like nothings gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

I'm sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home

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