(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay - Percy Sledge

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

I had nothin' to live for

Looks like nothin's gonna come my way

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Gonna watch the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Looks like nothin's gonna change

Everything, everything remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same

Looks like nothin's gonna change

Lord, everything remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones

But this loneliness won't leave me alone

Two thousand miles, I roam

Just to make this dock my home

I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

I'm gonna watch the tide, I'm gonna watch the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Sittin' on the dock of the bay, sittin'

Sittin' on the dock of the bay, sittin'

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
