Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

(альбом: Brilliant Conversationalist - 1987)

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again

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

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting my time

Look like ain't nothing'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

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

So, I'm just sitting at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, on the dock of the bay
Wasting my time
