The Dock Of The Bay

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, woo

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time, time

(Okay) I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
It seemed I had nothing to live for
Looked like nothing's gonna come my way

And now I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time, time

Listen!
It looks like nothing's gonna change
'Cause everything still remains the same
And I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

And now I'm sittin' here just resting my bones
Wish this loneliness would leave me alone
For two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this little dock my home

And now I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away (away)
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time, time

Yo
Ich sag Weihnachten, Frisco, am dock of the bay
Saß ich rum ohne Geld im Portmonee
Trotz der letzten „Sing meinen Song" Doppel-LP
Bin ich unglaublich broke, doch das' vollkommen ok
Dreißig Grad, Palmen, kalifornischer Winter
Seh' hektische Eltern und euphorische Kinder
Singe aus der Seele so wie Otis Redding
Und schreib' „Merry Xmas" mit 'nem roten Edding
