Sara Bareilles - Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay (cover) - Yahoo Live Concert 05.11.15

It has just passed the 12:00 Noon Hour and for my Late Morning/Music Interlude, I chose a great song by featured artist Sara Bareilles, performing a cover of an old song by Otis Redding titled "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay"... Sara's talent is relentless. She captures her audience. She honors the original artist by not impersonating them in her covers. As one subscriber on YouTube wrote: "She brings her extraordinary creativity and her love of the music together."

This performance is indeed indicative of the creativity of her music... I hope you all enjoy it!!!

LYRICS:

"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay", Cover by Sara Bareilles

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them 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 bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing'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, listen

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

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

[Ends in harmonic whistling]
