Sunny Came Home在1998年以黑马姿态爆冷勇夺格莱美奖年度最佳歌曲奖。
这是一首讲述关于仇恨,创伤及毁灭的歌曲。Sunny最后放了一把火烧掉了家园的故事。这是A Few Small Repairs里面几首叙事歌曲的其中一首。歌名也是歌曲开头的歌词。这首歌曲调清新欢快,精彩的吉它伴奏,与隐晦的歌词形成鲜明对比。
Sunny Came home是迄今为止Shawn Colvin最成功的单曲,获得包括年度最佳歌曲及年度最佳录音两项格莱美大奖。并登上了Billboard单曲榜。
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
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
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
Sunny came home
Sunny came home...
桑妮坐在厨房里
她打开一本书还有工具盒
桑妮带着使命回家了
她说时光流逝我沉醉其中
我如走在钢丝绳上
闭上我的眼睛让思想飞出来
飞到火里
桑妮回家带着一系列名单
她不相信卓越
是时候做一些小的修补了她说
桑妮突然地回到家中
她说时光流逝我无法明白
我像走在钢丝绳上
我闭上双眼让思想飞出来
飞到火里
带着孩子提着毛衣
干燥的天气总是好的有风就更好了
数数年岁,你总能知道
点燃一根火柴,去做吧
日子过去了我沉醉其中
我有如走在钢丝绳上
我闭上双眼让思想飞出
飞到火里
点燃天空,紧紧抓住火把
世界被烧为平地
她独自在那里,她好好的
桑妮回家
桑妮回家
