Sittin' in the morning sun
Sittin' I'll be sittin' 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 sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home down in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I've had nothing to live for
Looks like nothing's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Looks like nothing's ever change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what them 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
Yes two thousand miles I roamed
Just too make this dock my home
Now I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Yes I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Sittin' I'll be sittin' 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 sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home down in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I've had nothing to live for
Looks like nothing's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Looks like nothing's ever change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what them 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
Yes two thousand miles I roamed
Just too make this dock my home
Now I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Yes I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
