(Sittin` On) The Dock of the Bay — текст песни (Waylon Jennings)

(Otis Redding - Steve Cropper)

I`m sittin` in the morning sun
Sittin` when the evening comes
Watchin` the ships roll in
Then I watch `em roll away again.

I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay
Watchin` the tides roll away
I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay
Wasting time.

Left my home in Georgia
I was headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for
Looks like nothing`s gonna come my way.

I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay
Watchin` the tides roll away
I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay
Wasting time.

Looks like nothing`s ever gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can`t do what them people tell me to do
So I guess that I`ll just remain the same.

--- Instrumental ---

Sittin` here restin` my bones
And this loneliness won`t leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home.

I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay
Watchin` the tides roll away
I`m just sittin` on the dock of the bay
Wasting time...
