Radio Paradise (mobile)

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
watching the ships roll in
and then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
headed for the Frisco Bay
because I've had nothin' to live for
and look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
watchin' the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
wasting time

Looks like nothin'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

Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's 2,000 miles I've roamed
Just to make this dock my home now

I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
watchin' the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
wasting time

Clark_Novato Sep 28, 2012 - 14:58	First heard this song when I was six years old. It had such a groove - temporarily turned my attention from the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel. Also made me want to check out San Francisco. Moved there 20 years later. [ Reply ]

gpcracker Oct 31, 2011 - 02:51	Reminds me of drinking beers in La Jolla, CA. Good enough for a 10 in that respect. [ Reply ]
-Cor- Aug 14, 2011 - 12:59	I got introduced to this song by my girlfriend after spending the evening sitting on the dock, wildly in love, staring at each other and the setting sun. It became 'our song'. Three years later, the relationship was over. Going to France, leaving the madness behind, I stopped for a pizza at a restaurant in a tiny village in the middle of the French Alps. It turned out the place had live music that evening. The band opened with this song... Life's strange and beautiful like that I guess. :-) [ Reply ]
woodchuk Jun 27, 2011 - 04:37	Beautiful song.. The lighthearted whistle at the end belies the profound sadness of the story of this lost soul from Georgia... 9 [ Reply ]
