Sittin' in the morning sun   I'll be sittin' when the evening comes   Watchin' the ships roll in   And I watch 'em roll away again      Sittin' on the dock of the bay   Watchin' the tide roll away   Sittin' on the dock of the bay   Wasting time      I left my home back in Fiji   Headin' for the Turtle Bay   I had nothing to live for   Look like nothing's gonna come my way      Sittin' on the dock of the bay   Watchin' the tide roll away   Sittin' on the dock of the bay   Wasting time      Looks like ain't nothin' gonna change   Everything still remains the same   I can't do what ten people tell me to do   So I guess I'll remain the same      I'm sittin' here restin' my bones   And this loneliness won't leave me alone   Six thousand miles I've flown   Just to make this rock my home      Sittin' on the dock of the bay   Watchin' the tide roll away   Sittin' on the dock of the bay   Wasting time
