Lately, there have been alot of songs ive listened to that I have heard probably so many times that I just kind of incorporate the song into myself when i hear it. I don't actually listen. I know the lyrics and I know the melody and I can sing it. Sometimes though, I will love a certain song so much and never know what the artist is singing about. then the day comes when I actually listen to it. This 99% of the time happens only with songs i grew up with. New songs I hear I like to really listen to but songs like this one really get pulled back up on top of the pile when they start to speak to me. This song stands out. I used to think it was a nice tune and kind of happy. Then I listened to the lyrics and it made me feel another way. I can relate to this song more than I could ever before. I think I have listened to it 5 times so far. whats more is that I believe he died 2 weeks after recording this song. strange.


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, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' timeI left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' timeLooks like nothing's 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, listen
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now
I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
