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
