Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again,
I’m jus sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away,
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Treat someone special to a night or two on board the most coveted space in Victoria.
Gift it.
