Ich bin halt Sting-Fan. Und das hier ist ein phänomenaler Tribut von Gregory Porter an einen meiner Lieblingssongs – fesselnd und berührend.
»It’s Probably Me
If the night turned cold
And the stars looked down
And you hug yourself
On the cold, cold ground
You wake the morning
In a stranger’s coat
No one would you see
You ask yourself, ‚Who’d watch for me?‘
My only friend, who could it be?
It’s hard to say itI hate to say it
But it’s probably me
When your belly’s empty
And the hunger’s so real
And you’re too proud to begAnd too dumb to steal
You search the city
For your only friend
No one would you see
You ask yourself, ‚Who’d watch for me?‘
A solitary voice to speak out and set me free
I hate to say it
I hate to say it
But it’s probably me
You’re not the easiest person I ever got to know
And it’s hard for us both to let our feelings show
Some would sayI should let you go your way
You’ll only make me cry
But if there’s one guy, just one guy
Who’d lay down his life for you and die
It’s hard to say it
I hate to say it
But it’s probably me
When the world’s gone crazy, and it makes no sense
And there’s only one voice that comes to your defence
And the jury’s outAnd your eyes search the room
One friendly face is all you need to see
And if there’s one guy, just one guy
Who’d lay down his life for you and die
I hate to say it
I hate to say it
But it’s probably meI hate to say it
I hate to say
But it’s probably meI hate to say it
I hate to say
But it’s probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say
But it’s probably me«
