The best of all:

Stranger On The Shore - Acker Bilk - YouTube

The Lyrics:

Here I stand, watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you

I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me

The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

great tune...

but, um... Mr. Acker Bilk was, as usual, playing a clarinet... not a sax...

Like we needed another reason to hate Courtney Love!

"My Springsteen problem is just that saxophones don't belong in rock & roll," she said. "They just don't belong."
