Otis Redding - Dock Of The Bay (Sittin' On) lyrics

rate me

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

Then i watch 'em roll away again (yeah)

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide, roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Left my home in georgia

Headed for the frisco bay

I had nothin' to live for

Looks like nothin's gonna come my way (so)

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

Looks like nothin'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

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones

But this loneliness won’t leave me alone

Two thousand miles, i roam

Just to make this dock my home

I'm just gonna sit, at the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time
