TWO FOR TUESDAY

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Sunny Came Home
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
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
Stike 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 wire
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

These Four Walls
Shawn Colvin
I’m gonna die in these four walls
I’ve had enough
And I’ve tried it all
I’ll watch the day break
And I’ll see the night fall
In these four walls

Show me trouble
I’ll take ‘em down
I drew a line on this patch of ground
Everything’s safe
And everything’s sound
In these four walls

Up on the rooftop
I can remember
Borders I had to break
But now I can see
I had this life to make
To make

I’m gonna miss your southern drawl
A baby’s footsteps
In an empty hall
And every little thing
I can ever recall
In these four walls
In these four walls

Up on the rooftop
Feel like you’re flyin’
Thinkin’ your heart could break
Oh can’t you see we had this love to make
To make

I’m gonna die in these four walls
I’ve had enough
And I’ve tried it all
I’ll watch the day break
And I’ll see the night fall
In these four walls
In these four walls
In these four walls
