Sonny Came Home (Shawn Colvin) Lyrics

Sonny came home to her favorite room Sonny sat down in the kitchen She opened a book and a box of tools Sonny came home with a mission

She says days go by I am hypnotized I’m walking on a wire I close my eyes and fly out of my mind Into the fire

Sonny came home with a list of names She didn’t believe in transcendence It’s time for a few small repairs she said Sonny came home with a vengeance

She says days go by I don’t know why I am hypnotized I’m walking on a wireI 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 Sonny came home Sonny came home…
