Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay Lyrics
Sara Bareilles
Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' til the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Oh, oh
Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cause I got nothing to live for
And nothing's gonna come my way, yeah
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything's gonna stay the same
I can't do what ten people tell me do
So guess I'm just gonna stay the same
I'm sittin' here, resting my bones
'Cause this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh,
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasitn' time, wastin' time, wastin' time
I'll be sittin' til the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Oh, oh
Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cause I got nothing to live for
And nothing's gonna come my way, yeah
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything's gonna stay the same
I can't do what ten people tell me do
So guess I'm just gonna stay the same
I'm sittin' here, resting my bones
'Cause this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh,
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasitn' time, wastin' time, wastin' time
