Dock Of The Bay

(album: Gratitude - 1999)

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
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home back in Fiji
Heading for the Turtle Bay
I had nothing to live for
Look like nothing's gonna come my way

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Looks like ain't nothing 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 sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Six thousand miles I've flown
Just to make this rock my home

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
