Sittin' On The Dock

I wandered into an industrial complex not far from where I live. This dock hasn't been used in many a moon and I couldn't help but think of Otis Redding and his melancholic "Dock on The Bay." America's manufacturing sector has been on the decline since the time Otis was killed in a plane crash - 1967.


Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
