Well, I feel alive like I never have
Because if I go, then someone will be sad
Because as someone said, well, I'd rather die
But if you can stay, then darlin' so can I
And you know I will
Yeah, you know I will
('Cause) I'm bound to you, and all that it means
I'm bound to you, there's no in-between
It's like (the) earth below and the sky of blue
Are bound to me and you
And now every night, when the sun goes down
I remember times, like when I hit this town
All the dreams that just won't come true
I say, (if) you can do it, baby, (then) I can, too
And you know I will
Yeah, you know I will
('Cause) I'm bound to you, and all that it means
I'm bound to you, there's no in-between
It's like (the) earth below and the sky of blue
Are bound to me and you
Because if I go, then someone will be sad
Because as someone said, well, I'd rather die
But if you can stay, then darlin' so can I
And you know I will
Yeah, you know I will
('Cause) I'm bound to you, and all that it means
I'm bound to you, there's no in-between
It's like (the) earth below and the sky of blue
Are bound to me and you
And now every night, when the sun goes down
I remember times, like when I hit this town
All the dreams that just won't come true
I say, (if) you can do it, baby, (then) I can, too
And you know I will
Yeah, you know I will
('Cause) I'm bound to you, and all that it means
I'm bound to you, there's no in-between
It's like (the) earth below and the sky of blue
Are bound to me and you

My favourite tracks are "The Truth About Jimmy" and "Trouble". The latter has quite profound lyrics.
Nice tune.

Some artists, Ms. Colvin included, seem to get pigeonholed for one super popular radio-friendly song, (Sunny came home) instead of looked upon for their whole body of work. It's sad people overlook the rest of the songs she has. Alas, most will only remember her for a pixie haircut and Lilith Fair.

She was at Lilith?

I’ve heard Sunny Came Home, of course, though not often and not in a while. Otherwise my knowledge of Shawn Colvin is from the many covers that seem to be in rotation on the Main Mix. I suppose they give a narrow view of her work and talent, and there’s definitely a couple of them where I prefer someone else’s cover of the same tune. (I do love a good/interesting cover). All that to say, it’s nice to hear an original from her that isn’t Sunny. Hope to hear more.
