Sara Bareilles - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics






Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' til the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Oh, oh

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cause I got nothing to live for
And nothing's gonna come my way, yeah

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything's gonna stay the same
I can't do what ten people tell me do
So guess I'm just gonna stay the same

I'm sittin' here, resting my bones
'Cause this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh,

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasitn' time, wastin' time, wastin' time

    Hardly anything in life is forever, but music is.
    Surreal thought.

    L.... T....

    Got you beat by 44 years, ... and yes, you will hold this song in your heart forever. I ∑as at work on Friday, and the guys I work with all broke into this Otis Redding song, ... his legacy. Love this tune, and Sara makes it her own. Amazing!

    I almost didn't listen to this. First thought was "old tired song" boy was I wrong. First time I've heard this song in twenty, wait thirty years and enjoyed it. Thank you for reviving a classic, that I thought was old tired and dead.

    B.... W....

    I wish it was on the radio.

  30. T.... D....

    She does her live shows, as good or better than a recorded studio version.
    How many music artists can do that?
    Almost none. Rare.

  31. T.... D....

    Dont know if she ever did..but God Bless America...or..America the Beautiful..sure would be pretty.

  32. L.... B....

  54. D.... N....

    I still remember when they came and took Otis's sister out of class to tell her what had happened. I think I'll put this on my like list...

  55. R.... B....

    Interpretation ? ...is that when you pay to copy the work of accomplished musicians ?

  56. G.... J....

  70. G.... P....

    the performance was excellent and original. not keen on the outfit, but Sara is very pretty and pleasant.

  71. E.... ....

    She's cute, I don't care what you say... AND! It sounds like she can step up to a mic and do it, not like those studio queens.

  72. N.... P....

    I did not think ANYONE could cover this song ever. Well she has so all others need not apply.

  73. k.... ....

    Such a deep and expressive talent. I feel certain that she pays deeply for such a deep talent pool. Please keep your head above the waters, Sara, as you are much loved and appreciated by the faceless many.
