(Sitting On) The Dock Of The Bay – Otis Redding

有時候，會不會也跟我一樣，
聽到某首好聽的歌，可是又不完全知道整首歌的旋律或歌詞，
半調子的旋律停留在腦海裡，對我來說是一件痛苦的事，
總是要找到整首歌/歌詞才能解決。

有天下午在收音機聽到的一首歌，就是這樣，
來自靈魂歌手 Otis Redding 的(Sitting On) The Dock Of The Bay
非常舒服的旋律，好像，在船塢上閒晃就是要加上這種配樂，
到Otis Redding的網站或是按照片可以聽到這首歌，
可惜Otis Redding英年早逝，這首歌變成他的唯一冠軍單曲。

(Sitting On) The Dock Of The Bay – Otis Redding

Sittin in the morning sun,
I`ll be sittin’ when the evening come,
Watching the ships roll in,
And I’ll watch ’em roll away again, yeah,
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay,
Watching the tide roll away, ouh,
I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay,
Wasting time.

I left my home in Georgia,
Headed for the Frisco bay
I have nothing to live for,
Look like nothings gonna come my way,

So I’m just go sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away,
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay,
Wasting time

Look like nothings gonna change,
Everything still remain the same,
I can’t do what ten people tell me to do,
So I guess I’ll remain the same, yes,

Sittin’ here resting my bones,
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone, yes,
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Now I’m just go sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
