Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay

Текст песни

Sittin’in the morning sun
I’ll be sittin’when the evening comes
watching the ships roll in and then I watch them roll away again, yeah
I’m sittin’on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away
I’m sittin’on the dock of the bay
wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
headed for the Frisco Bay
because I’ve had nothin to live for
and look like nothin’s gonna come my way
So I’m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
watchin’the tide roll away
I’m sittin’on the dock of the bay
wasting time
Looks like nothin’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
Sitting here resting my bones
And this lonliness won’t leave me alone
It’s 2,000 miles I’ve roamed
Just to make this dock my home now
I’m just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
watchin’the tide roll away
I’m sittin’on the dock of the bay
wasting time
