(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay Songtext
von Da Vinci’s Notebook

Sittin′ in the morning sun
I'll be waitin′ till the evening comes
Watching those ships roll in
And I'm watching roll away again, yeah

Sittin' on the dock of the bay, I′m just
Watchin′ the tide roll away,
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, I′m just
Wastin' time
I′m just wasting time

Left my home in Georgia
I was headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothing to live for
And nothing there was going my way


Sittin' on the dock of the bay, I′m just
Watchin' the tide roll away,
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, I′m just
Wastin′ time
I know I'm wasting time

Looks like everything gonna change
Nothing here is gonna remain the same
I can′t get ten people who roll me till dawn
So I guess I'll remain the same,

Sittin′ here resting these bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, no
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home,

Sittin′ at the dock of a bay, I'm just
Watchin' the tide roll away,
Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
I′m wastin' time, ooh
I′m wasting time
