dock of the bay

well

well

well

yeah - oooh

sittin' in the mornin' sun

i'll be sittin' till the evenin' come

watching the ships roll in

yea!

then i watch 'em roll away again

lord

i'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

ooh

sittin' on the dock of the bay

wastin' time

i left my home in jamaica

headed for london town

i have nothing to live for

looks like nothin's gonna come my way

lord

i'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

ooh

sittin' on the dock of the bay

wastin' time

looks like nothing's gonna change

everything still remains the same

woo

i can't do what some people tell me to do

so i guess i'll remain the same

lord!

sittin' here resting my bones

and this loneliness won't leave me alone

yea

three thousand miles i roamed

just to make this london my home

lord

i'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay

just to make this london my home

lord

i'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

ooh

sittin' on the dock of the bay

wastin' time
