Lyrics

[00:08.660] Sittin' in the morning sun
[00:13.240] I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
[00:17.810] Watching the ships roll in
[00:22.540] Then I watch them roll away again, yeah
[00:26.540]
[00:27.760] I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
[00:31.740] Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
[00:36.510] I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
[00:41.280] Wastin' time
[00:46.280]
[00:46.460] I left my home in Georgia
[00:51.420] Headed for the Frisco Bay
[00:56.250] Cuz I've had nothing to live for
[01:00.480] And look like nothing's gonna come my way
[01:03.480]
[01:03.720] So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
[01:09.360] Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
[01:14.140] I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
[01:19.410] Wastin' time
[01:25.410]
[01:25.930] Looks like nothing's gonna change
[01:30.410] Everything still remains the same
[01:35.860] I can't do what ten people tell me to do
[01:40.070] So I guess I'll remain the same, listen
[01:41.770]
[01:43.340] Sittin' here resting my bones
[01:47.860] And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
[01:52.850] Two thousand miles I roam
[01:57.250] Just to make this dock my home, now
[01:59.560] I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
[02:01.250]
[02:03.910] Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
[02:10.400] Sittin' on the dock of the bay
[02:15.770] Wastin' time
[02:52.980]
