Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones (born November 8, 1954) is an American vocalist, musician, songwriter, and producer. Over the course of a career of over three decades, Jones has recorded in various musical styles including rock, R&B, blues, pop, soul, and jazz standards. Her songwriting has been characterized as "a blend of bravado and vulnerability [that] wavers on indefinable borders." She is also known for her unique singing style, especially in live performances. One concert reviewer, describing her rendering of "We Belong Together," states she "reached her apex, skating from swells into near screams into breathy whispers, from pontillist stacatto scats into brassy, trumpetlike bursts." more »

Walking down my street
Here's the room where I live
Here's the neighbor children, sometimes they bother me
Here's the window where you left
How can I forget to look,
How can I forget

A sunny afternoon
A plane goes by
Walking with my cat around
It's a sunny afternoon
Here's the window where you left
How can I forget to look

No matter where you move the light
Somebody's always got a needle in her eye
You can pet her, she won't bite
She's been lying very still all night
