Sunny Came Home Lyrics

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 Im hypnotized
Im 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 didnt believe in transcendence
Its time for a few small repairs she said
Sunny came home with a vengeance
She says days go by I dont know why
Im 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 Im hypnotized
Im 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
Shes out there on her own and shes alright
Sunny came home
Sunny came home...
