(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

(album: WWII - 1982)

I'm sitting in the morning sun
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 tides roll away
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Left my home in Georgia
I was headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for
Looks like nothing's gonna come my way

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

Looks like nothing's ever gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what them people tell me to do
So I guess that I'll just 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 tides roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
