Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in Then I watch 'em roll away again, oh I'm sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time Left my home in Georgia And headed for the 'Frisco bay I've had nothing to live for Look like nothing's gonna come my way I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time Looks 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, oh Sitting here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's just two thousand miles I roamed Oh, just to make this dock my home Oh, I'm sitting at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, yeah, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything remains the same Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything remains the same Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything remains the same Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything remains the same Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything remains the same Looks like nothing's gonna change Looks like nothing's gonna change
