Dock of the Bay Lyrics by The Persuasions

A Cappella Dreams

0

[Verse]
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come, Lord
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
[Chorus]
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Ooh lord, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Verse]
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay, Lord
I got nothin to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
[Chorus]
I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tides roll away
Ooh lord, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Bridge]
Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything still remain the same
How can I do what ten people tell me to
I guess I'm gonna have to remain the same
[Verse]
Sittin' here resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone, Lord
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this here dock my home
[Chorus]
I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tides roll away
Ooh-lord, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Bridge]
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything seems to remain the same
How can I do what ten people tell me to
I guess I'm gonna have to remain the same
[Verse]
Sittin' here resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone, Lord
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this here dock my home
[Chorus]
I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tides roll away
Ooh-lord, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Outro]
