Sunny Came Home
Shawn Colvin & John Leventhal

Shawn Colvin
A Few Small Repairs
1996

Shawn Colvin, as far as I can discern, used to be a folk singer who
went pop.  I'm not sure whether I would want to be termed a "pop star"
but I guess she doesn't mind.  Here's a song I first heard performed by
Steve & Al, who I opened for at Collegetown Bagels on Jan. 31, 1998.

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

I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire"

Dry is good and wind is better
Count the years, you always knew it
Strike a match, go on and do it
