| Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay Otis Redding 1968 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 [Chorus] Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay 'Cause I had nothin to live for And look like nothing's gonna come my way So I'm just... [Chorus] Look like 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 Sittin 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 Now, I'm just... [Chorus] (Whistle) |
