Singalong! Sunny Came Home by Shawn Colvin

Here's another sweet one from the late 90s! I never had any idea what this song meant, but I loved the tune and was intrigued by a song by someone named Shawn who was a lady about someone named Sunny who was also given female pronouns. I still can't really tell what it's about except a gal named Sunny who comes home and is perhaps on a mission of vengeance? I think it may be a bit more symbolic than that...  Still fun to sing along to, though!

SUNNY CAME HOME

by 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

And 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

Oh, 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

Oh, light the sky and hold on tight

The world is burning down

She's out there on her own, and she's all right

Sunny came home

Sunny came home

Came home
