(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay Songtext
von Tom Jones

Sittin′ in the morning sun
I'll be sittin′ when the evenin' come, yes, I will
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, oh Lord

Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oh, baby, sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
I headed for the Frisco bay, yes, I did
I have nothing to live for
Look like nothing′s gonna come my way, can't you see me?


Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time

Look like nothing's gonna change
Every little thing still remains the same
I cannot do what ten or 12, or 15, or 20 people want me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same

Sittin′ here and resting my bones
And the loneliness won′t leave me alone
No-no, no-no, no
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this big dock my home, oh Lord

I'm sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Can't you see me? Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time


I rather get myself together, move on down the line
Except I just waste the time
Waste the time
