Jennifer Warnes - Bird on a wire.

Jennifer Warnes, född 3 mars 1947 i Seattle, Washington, är en amerikansk sångerska.
Warnes är mest känd för sina tolkningar av sånger av Leonard Cohen, James Taylor och Buffy Sainte-Marie, samt för två av 1980-talets största filmmusikhittar: duetterna Up Where We Belong från filmen En officer och en gentleman, tillsammans med Joe Cocker, och (I've Had) The Time of My Life från Dirty Dancing, tillsammans med Bill Medley.
Jag har hittat en låt som hon har gjort cover på som heter Bird on a Wire, denna låt har The Neville Brothers gjort. Denna har bara så fint sound. Här kommer texten;

Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
