(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay Lyrics

sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
watchin' the ships roll in
then I watch 'em roll away again

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
watchin' the tide roll away
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin'...

    This song represent a person who is in transition in life. Maybe has finished a really busy step and now feels disorientated. relaxed but a bit too much free time without any goal.
