port songs: I cover the waterfront

Billie Holiday: I Cover the Waterfront 

(this could be the new port halifax gateway anthem)

away from the city that hurts and knocks

I'm standing alone by the desolate docks

in the still and chill of the night

I see the horizon, the great unknown

my heart has an ache

it's heavy as stone

with the dawn coming on make it last

I cover the waterfront

I'm watching the sea

porque la vida puede ser maravillosa !

check out the extratime Italy / Germany clip from the 2006 World Cup. The Spanish commentating crew is absolutely amazing! I remember watching this game at a friend's house and our power went out with ten minutes left to go in the game and a friend gave play by play via cell phone. La vida puede ser maravillosa!
