Sara Bareilles – Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay lyrics
Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting till the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again

I'm Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I have nothing to live for
Look like nothing's gonna come my way

I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Look like nothing'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

Sittin' here resting my bones,
And this loneliness won't leave me alone,
Two thousand miles I roam,
Just to make this dock my home.

I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, ooohh
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
