Sittin' in the morning sun,
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come.
Watchin' the ships roll in,
Then I watch 'em 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 day,
Wastin' time.
I left my home in Georgia,
Headed for the Frisco bay.
I have nothin' to live for,
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.
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the day,
Wastin' 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.
Sittin' here restin' my bones,
And this loneliness won't leave me alone.
Two housand miles I roam,
Just to make this dock my home.
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay,
Watchin' the tide roll away.
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Wastin' time.
Marvin Gaye, nato Marvin Pentz Gay Jr. (Washington D.C., 2 aprile 1939 – Los Angeles, 1 aprile 1984), è stato un cantautore, produttore discografico e arrangiatore statunitense considerato uno dei più grandi artisti della musica soul e R and B. Iniziò la sua carriera come cantante gospel negli anni '50, per poi passare alla Motown nel 1961. Con il suo stile vocale morbido e melodico, le sue canzoni spesso incentrate su temi sociali e personali come l'amore, la guerra e la giustizia sociale, Gaye conquistò un pubblico internazionale. Tra i suoi successi più famosi figurano "Let's Get It On", "Sexual Healing", "What's Going On" e "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Quest'ultimo brano, realizzato in duetto con Tammi Terrell, divenne un inno di speranza e unità. Gaye ricevette numerosi premi, tra cui sei Grammy Awards, e il suo album "What's Going On" è considerato un capolavoro della musica soul. La sua vita fu segnata da problemi personali e dipendenze, che culminarono nel tragico omicidio del padre da parte di Marvin stesso nel 1984.
