sunny came home

shawn colvin

sunny came home to her favorite room

sunny sat down in the kitchen

she opened a book and a box of tools

sunny came home with a mission

she says days go by i‘m hypnotized

i‘m walking on a wire

i close my eyes and fly out of my mind

into the fire

sunny came home with a list of names

she didn‘t believe in transcendence

it‘s time for a few small repairs she said

sunny came home with a vengeance

she says days go by i don‘t know why

i‘m walking on a wire

i close my eyes and fly out of my mind

into the fire

get the kids and bring a sweater

dry is good and wind is better

count the years, you always knew it

strike a match, go on and do it

days go by i‘m hypnotized

i‘m walking on a wire

i close my eyes and fly out of my mind

into the fire

light the sky and hold on tight

the world is burning down

she‘s out there on her own and she‘s alright

sunny came ho
