The Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding)

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening's come
Watching all the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again
I'm sitting on the dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of a bay wasting time.

I left my home down in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cause I have nothing to live for
Looks like nothing's gonna change my way
So I'm sitting on the dock of a bay...

Sitting here resting my bones
And this lonelieness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I've roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm sitting on the dock of a bay...
