Sunny Came Home
Shawn Colvin
From the Album: A Few Small Repairs
Read the lyrics for the song Sunny Came Home. Try and choose an alternative from the ones given in Italics. Compare your opinion with a classmate. Then listen to the song and circle the words you hear. Were you alright?
Sunny came home to her favorite room
Sunny sat down in the kitchen
She opened a beer / book and a box of tools
Sunny came home with a mission / vision
She says years / days go by I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on fire / a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire / wire
Sunny came home with a list of names / friends
She didn't believe in transcendence
It's time for a few small repairs she said
Sunny came home with a vengeance / patience
She says years / days go by I don't know why
I'm walking on fire / a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire / wire
Get / call the kids and bring a sweater
Dry is good and wind is better / bad
Count the years, you always knew it
Strike a match, go on and do it
Years / Days go by I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on fire / a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire / wire
I like / 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 home
Sunny came home...
In pairs try and answer these questions: Why did Sunny come home? How does she feel? What is she planning to do? How can you tell?
