They are both near perfect versions of the same song. The original Dire Straits song is understated, with Mark Knopfler playing the wounded lover. Amy Ray takes it in a different direction, while still playing wounded, she adds in more anger. Take your pick- both versions are perfect in their own ways. But if you have never heard the Dire Straits original of this song, do yourself a favor and go see why the Indigo Girls loved it enough to cover it.
