On The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics By The Dells

    sitting in the morning sun
    i’ll be sitting till the evening come
    watching the ship roll in
    and i’ll watch em roll away again yeah

    i’m sitting on the dock of the bay
    watching the tide tide roll away
    ooh lord sitting on the dock of the bay
    wasting time time

    i left my home in georgia
    headed for the frisco bay
    i have nothing to live for
    seems like nothing’s
    gonna come my way

    let me hear you say
    i’m sitting on the dock of the bay
    watching the tide tide roll away
    ooh lord sitting on the dock of the bay
    and i’m just wasting time

    look like nothing’s gonna change
    everything remains the same
    i can’t do what ten people
    wants me to do now
    so i guess i’ll remain the same

    hey sitting here resting my bones
    cause this loneliness won’t leave me alone
    two thousand miles i roam
    just to make this dock my home

    let me hear you all say now
    sitting on the dock of the bay
    watching the tide tide roll away
    ooh lordy lord now
    sitting on the dock of the bay
    and i’m wasting time ooh
