(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

(album: The Bridge - 2021)

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

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

I left my home in Georgia
And headed for the 'Frisco Bay
'Cause I got nothing to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way

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

Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything seems to stay the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

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