Colvin, Shawn - Baker Street Lyrics
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And you talk about everything
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy
Always say that it was so easy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
Way down the street there's a light in his place
And he opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
And when you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home

Colvin, Shawn Baker Street Comments
I didn't think this should or even could be covered but her version is AMAZING.
My favorite lady singer.!!!!
Perfect.....
And we don't even miss the sax riff!
the yin to the foo fighters yang
In my Colvin playlist. Thanks for the upload!
I love this version - it gets me right in the feels.
Awesome!
Absolutely wonderful...amazing.
DAMN !!!!!!!
Class 🤙
respect for this coverversion.
Wow is this an awesome version of Baker Street! Wonderful job. Was drawn into this version within the 1st 5 seconds. Mesmerizing.
Baker Street without the sax is like Star Wars without Vader.
Yup! So true.
Bleb Han : This is a nice version on its own, but having heard Rafferty's, yes - I keep waiting for that awesome sax to kick in.
3:25 John Carpenter on guitar? lol
Great Version!!😀
very good version. You find yourself wanting a little more energy before it ends though
The pond is like glass!
Love this song,love Shawn. So happy to hear her take on it! As always,so well done!
Nice version but she gets the lyrics wrong in the first paragraph! She says "talk about everything" instead of "forget about everything". Otherwise, good song!
Is there any song this woman can't bring a new insight to? Her covers dig deeper into the songs and makes you look at them in a different way. "Baker Street" is just a pop song I'd hear in the background and not pay much attention to, but she makes me appreciate the story.
+Magiccitymama Well said. I was stunned the first time I heard her sing this song. I knew it had to be part of my music collection. Thank you so much for your great comment!
Jim
Magiccitymama she does guy songs so well!
that was very moving . thank you .
+mark connor You are very welcome. Thanks so much for listening.
Jim
I`ve been listening to Shawn Colvin for a long , long time and coincidentally I was born in Paisley , Scotland . I don`t know where he was born , but Gerry Rafferty spent the early part of his life there . So there you have it.
mark connor I believe it was either Montana or one of the Dakotas. Can't remember which, but in that area.
Nice, but needs to be gritter, a little edgy even.
Very Nice!
Kind of puts me in a trance....
Sublime
Wow, this is great! This song, and video, really draws you in and makes you pay attention. What a wonderful tribute to Gerry Rafferty! Love this! Thanks for posting, Jim!

+jrsn2music I first heard it on YCE, John. When the background voice came in I knew instantly that it was David Crosby. I loved this version right away. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Jim

I think i like this unplugged version way better than the original!
+Beatles❤Girl Well, I won't go that far but I do love this version. The original is just such a classic. Thanks so much for listening, BG :))
Jim

This is lovely. Shawn is golden. But I wouldn’t take anything away from the original.
Love it! Awesome cover and video...Peace
