At the risk of being profound, let me say that the only thing more beautiful than this song is the lifelong friendship that apparently inspired it. Wonderful work, ladies! Jerry and Lisa from Iowa
After you two finish the song and break your hug is the happiest expression I've ever seen on Shawn Colvin and that's my all time favorite hair cut on her too. She is handsome. This is one of her handsome faces. Kisses. Arthur

Love this song and great to see you both doing it like this...but the INTENSELY irritating "percussive" part makes it unlistenable for me. It takes over, if it needs to be there (which it really doesn't!!) it should be more subtle. Totally unnecessary!! Wasting a great performance!!
New Year 2024 December 9, 2023 - Shawn Colvin and Squirrel Boy At The Crime Scene - Austin, Texas Something resembling a body has been found. A report has been made and a forensics team dispatched to the scene. The Chief Detective arrives before the pathologist and examines the “body” in astonishment…he turns to one of the officers who first responded and asks: “did you find any weapons anywhere near the scene?” The officer responds: “no sir” The Detective mutters half to himself “I’ve never seen anything like this…it’s just a bag of skin…” The pathologist arrives and receives permission to examine the “body”…he is even more amazed than the Inspector, he says: “I’ve never seen anything like this…there appear to be no organs whatsoever and not a single bone, no brain, no eyeballs…it appears as if every single organ and bone was pulled out through the anus…” The detective says: “how is that possible?…” The pathologist replies: “this was a case of true love gone horribly wrong…’ The inspector considers this for a moment and says: “I love my wife but I’m getting a fucking divorce just in case it is true love…holy shit!” The Pathologist says: “that may be a good idea…as for me…I’m keeping my feelings to my fucking self for the rest of my life…Inspector, is there a body bag around?” Inspector: “yeah but it looks like this could fit in a baggie…” Pathologist: “it could but we need to follow protocol…” Inspector: “right…I’ll go get it…by the way Doc…was it male or female?” Pathologist: “it’s really hard to tell but I wonder if that really matters…” Inspector: “well, don’t we need to try to identify it…notify kin..?” Pathologist: “I’m afraid that’s not gonna be possible…” Inspector: “another fucking day in the big city huh Doc?…” Pathologist: “yeah…love is a scary fucking thing…wait a minute Inspector…what’s this? he asks as he lifts the bag of skin. The inspector takes the item and says…”it’s a ticket to a Shawn Colvin show…looks like “body” might have gone to the show…” Pathologist: “it’s beginning to make sense now…” Inspector…”yeah, we’ve seen a few go down hard…but nothing like this…” Pathologist: “I thought she left town in the 90’s…” Inspector: “yeah, she did…you wouldn’t believe the fucking carnage…” Pathologist: “weren’t there any charges…?” Inspector: “what the fuck are ya gonna do…these fucking guys beg for it…literally beg for it…” Pathologist: “Jesus Christ…what the fuck is it about her…?” Inspector: “I’ve heard some theories but nobody really fucking knows…I mean she might as well have a fucking ray gun…” Pathologist: “doesn’t seem right…” Inspector: “I’m tellin’ ya…whatever the fuck it is…these guys fucking beg for it…” Pathologist: “weirdos?” Inspector: “no they’re almost always poets…” Pathologist: “that’s what I said…fucking weirdos…” Inspector: “yeah…I guess it depends on how you look at it…” One of the attending officers comes over and says: “Inspector, it’s the voice, it’s the fucking voice….I went to a show once and I swear to God it almost got me…plus she’s a fucking babe…you can’t take your fucking eyes off her…it’s like a fucking trance…” Inspector: “Jesus, how’d you get out…” Officer, I was lucky…I had my radio on and got a call and it snapped me out of it but I had to see a shrink for 2 fucking years…I swear to God!…it’s deep shit…whatever the fuck it is…” Pathologist: “why don’t they warn people?” Inspector: “there’s nothing you can do…they’re like fucking zombies…some of ’em heard her in the 80’s amd jumped off bridges and shit…” Inspector: “yeah, it’s true…I saw some of that…I heard about one fucking guy from Boston had it so fucking bad he’s living in a tree in some park and can’t even talk anymore…” Officer: “yeah, it’s some wild assed shit…some guys are more susceptible than others is what I hear like for some reason dipshits don’t get affected…it’s only the ones that start thinkin’ about her and once they go to the second show…that’s it…bada bing bada boom…loony bin for fucking life…or livin’ like a fucking squirrel…” Officer: “yeah, that fuckin’ Boston guy was a fuckin’ psychotherapist and studied philosophy or some shit…now they can’t even get his ass out of the tree and I swear to God…he thinks he’s a fucking squirrel…I went up there one time just to see it for myself….it’s unfucking real…” Inspector: “why don’t they put him in an institution?” Officer: “he’s like a fucking tourist attraction, plus people feel sorry for him…they feed him nuts and shit and he hops around just like a fucking squirrel…” Pathologist: “that’s fucking crazy…they outta put the guy away…try some anti-psychotics….shock treatments…something…” Officer: “you would fucking think so but you know fucking Boston…they’re all a bunch of liberal fucking bleeding hearts…I swear to God…they treat the fucking homeless like they’re fucking human beings up there…they figure squirrel boy, as long as he don’t bite nobody…what’s the harm…they got other people sleeping in the bushes and people fallin’ all over themselves to bring ’em sandwiches and shit…if I get laid off…that’s where I’m fucking goin’…it’s fucking weirdo heaven…and I’m overdo for a fucking breakdown anyway…”Inspector: “that’s it…I’m tellin’ your fucking watch commander…back to therapy buddy…next thing you know…you’ll be livin’ in a fucking tree…” The inspector puts the “body” in the body bag and sees an I.D., picks it up…Arthur Shepherd…ring any bells?” Officer looks at it and says: “holy shit…you’re not gonna believe this…it’s fucking squirrel boy…” Inspector: “look..let’s shred this shit…I don’t want those fucking Boston assholes comin’ down here saying we fucked up their little park mascot…” Pathologist: “my lips are sealed…” Sentenced To Eternity I knew a little girl in Texas she was bad as bad can be badder than the baddesst part of me all I can see is my badass Shawna Lee she's badder than the baddesst part of me I'm doin' time now and that's ok she'll get me by somehow I'm doin' eternity for my badass Shawna Lee workin' the rock pile toein' the line I can see her smile and I feel fine she'll send me a file I'll cut through the bars open up the sky steal forever's stars I'll do infinity I'll populate Mars I'll sing for Shawna Lee just a jail bird and a songbird singin' in the yard in two part harmony Michelle and Shawna Lee singin' eternally won't get no probation won't get no parole I'm locked up forever soul to soul free as free can be doin' eternity for my darlin' Shawna Lee end
It's a good song! I'm sharing with my pal of 60 years. Thank you😊
At the risk of being profound, let me say that the only thing more beautiful than this song is the lifelong friendship that apparently inspired it. Wonderful work, ladies! Jerry and Lisa from Iowa
Have loved both your music since the 80s. Beautiful together. Thank you!
Brings me back to the 1980s when life was a bit slower, before the chaos of the new century.
After you two finish the song and break your hug is the happiest expression I've ever seen on Shawn Colvin and that's my all time favorite hair cut on her too. She is handsome. This is one of her handsome faces. Kisses. Arthur
Beautiful...
Beautiful possibly Duet of the Year where are you Grammy voters?
Moved me to tears the first time I heard it....and every time since.
Lucy played this song in Chicago tonight....her first show since Covid. She was wonderful.
Love the song and the harmonies are delicious
Love this.
Fascinating looking at Lucy's right hand using a pick and fingers too. I wish I could manage that !!
I love this. The video captures so much more of the feeling just watching the two of you singing together.
Thank you!
Beautiful!
I first discovered SC back in 1990 when I left the UK to work in thr US...Loved Stady on ALBUM. she's not as well know over here..

Alone In The Twilight Zone
don't leave me alone in the twilight zone
it' getting dark too dark to see
You took the badge off of me
as I was knockin' on Your door
at the threshold of the twilight zone
where your thoughts all are unknown
and no one will comfort you
cause your fears are over blown
don't leave me alone
on 'Our' birthday
here in the twilight zone
with nothing left to say
miracle or curse
nirvana or pain
forward or reverse
crazy or sane
sometimes I served my country
now I serve 'Our' soul
alone in the twilight zone
nothing makes sense
so far from Home
end
How much would I have loved to be sitting in that room?!
Nice
Really good..
Posted on 'When You Know' just now. When can I come in from the cold darling?
New Year 2024
A Prayer For Peace Love And Reconciliation
Dear Shawn Colvin
I know that I know
that I love You
and I 'know' that You 'know'
so how can I give up
when You said Yourself
I can't go back
to black
with all this blessed light
showing the way
imploring 'Us' to fight
for love every day
well I fight for 'Us'
'We' both fight
for what's true
I write poems for You
I pour out my heart
I cry and I sing
I tell You every part
I give You everything
only You and only Me
climbing in the right direction
toward grace and eternity
objects of each others' affection
what blessings will this new year bring
hope for peace hope for love
angels begging 'Us' together to sing
to carry hope from above
and a balm for weary souls
bound together as one
burning in a passion rapt
fused forever like the sun
one flaming heart
bound for eternity
let's walk let's start
this cosmic journey
today in twenty twenty four
let's make a stand
let's stand for love and reconciliation
let's obey hope's command
love one another
sing for peace
sing for grace
occupy a holy place
here in 'Our' soul
where I've loved You forever
as 'We' near 'Our' goal
home to heaven together
let's sing for hope
let's sing for freedom
to the stars let's elope
let's use this wisdom
to enlighten 'Our' mind
as 'We' walk heaven's beaches
amazed at what 'We' find
grateful for all love teaches
won't You smile upon me today
my darling soul
won't You listen as I pray
that 'We' will be made whole
yin and yang
yang and yin
one soul reunited
this year let's begin
to heal old wounds
forgive and forget
learn from 'Our' mistakes
rejoice in 'Our' lucky breaks
what will this new year bring
a smile to Your Goddess face
a song to Your lovely lips
to which my aching heart skips
a beat in Your inspired melody
gets lost in Your tranquility
catches up on the refrain
and releases all the pain
of waiting
end
My darling beautiful immortal soul Shawn Colvin. You inspire me to try. You teach me to cry and I do whenever I think that You might have a place for me somewhere in this cosmic tapestry that You wove in Your well-lit place in the sky. Centuries ago You wrote this script that resonates with me. I'm mesmerized by Your beauty grace courage wisdom and voice so I ask again my darling will You take me to France? Will You save the last dance for me? I'll take lessons willingly but in any case, Shawn, please remember me fondly as You can. Please 'know' that I love You forever no matter what happens but I pray that maybe this year we'll talk as seer to seer both 'seeing' that this love I feel for You is 'real' and eternal. I love You now as always and always will. May God bless You this year Shawn Colvin with inspiration for Your lovely mind. May Your spirit be lifted and may You sing as heaven intended. Meanwhile I'll watch the stars for any sign and You'll be the first to 'know' if 'We' are to be blessed but I 'know' that You already 'know' so I must pray to You again. Please be kind. You never know what You may find in a heart that skips a beat but catches up to You in time to 'know' true love.
All my affection trust and faith is with You this year Shawn and if I don't get to see You go in peace grace and love as You always have and always will. You always have been a beacon to my soul so please don't be angry because I followed it home to You. Quantum kisses forever for You from everywhere
Michelle Colvin
btw: There is a thousand times more synchronicity in 'Our' story than in this movie and that's a fact.

Michelle Colvin
Great song. I'd like to hear her in a higher key. Beutifull still.
Schadenfreude
They laugh
when you're on the ground
in agony
you sing like an angel
but they only hear the sound
of envy
if you're hungry
they laugh
that much harder
after you sang them a feast
and annihilated the beast
envy not money
is the root of all evil
but they heard your voice
being envious
they had no choice
but to laugh
when you were on the ground
in agony
though you flew here
to save them
cause they've swallowed
so deep of envy
they will not sleep
cause ugly secrets they keep
where once God saw a soul
and so
they have no grace
of their own
they've seen your angel face
they laugh
deep in that ugly place
where they hide their sin
forever in the garbage bin
of envy
All would envy Shawn Colvin
beautiful for life
and when they let their envy go
then she shows her soul
where beauty lives forever
she 'knows' she 'knows'
she comes and goes
she's a vessel all would envy
she waits for them to let go
then she lets them row
beauty and grace
your angel face
they will row you home once more
to that heavenly far shore
with me at the helm
and you on the bow
we have found our way
Home
Somehow
end
Angelface Colvin
The lights went out
the whole earth shook
take one look
for one nanosecond
to 'see' what I'm talkin' about
a trillion years of
badass behavior
broke every doubt
the hearts she took
they had to book
Angelface Colvin
She sang in saloons
and hot air balloons
she lives on a dream
drives a flyin’ horse team
lassoed my soul
snatched my heart
tore all my dreams apart
Angelface Colvin
she's badass as badass gets
in the baddest assed badass town
in this badass country
Angelface Colvin
stuck my heart in her sock
danced all night
with my heart and a rock
in her badass sock
Angelface Colvin
She showed me no mercy
took everything I had
burned her name on my soul
she’s just badassed bad
and badly badassed
Angelface Colvin
I love her still
guess I always will
Put on my tombstone
she made the kill
killed me dead
Angelface Colvin
she made the kill
killed me dead
Chorus:
Angelface Colvin she made the kill
Angelface Colvin killed me dead
Angelface Colvin Killed me dead
She made the kill
I love her still
end
Is there an album out entirely of Shawn & Lucy singing together as duo?
Sunny Stayed Home
Sunny stayed Home
on a rainy day in Texas
to honor the arrival
of Her eternal nexus
Love and joy
peace and happiness
a new lover boy
and a daughter to bless
a new reason to sing
and an urge to undress
for an eternal fling
a new blessing to bring
to Her eternal Home
riches and glory
infinite aplomb
and a handwritten love story
Sunny Stayed Home
to celebrate
stayed Home for kisses
to be waited on in bed
to be hand fed
by true love
Sunny stayed in bed
for a back rub she said
Oh darlin'
why would I ever leave
You 'know' Me so well
My beloved Candlekin
I love You can't You tell
Sunny stayed Home
with all Her cosmic kin
who wondered where she went
something about a fire a circus tent
and messages heaven sent
Sunny stayed Home
to listen and receive
closed the book
put away Her box of tools
swore off fools
Sunny stayed Home
to hear Her dream tale told
about eternity and glory
how everyone watched
Her origami story unfold
Sunny stayed Home
cause that's where Her love is
that's where Her nirvana
and bliss exists
stayed Home to be kissed
Sunny stayed Home
to celebrate
and to open Her presents
grace love sacred fate
without precedence
Sunny stayed Home
to await
the arrival of Her
dream date
She was nervous so
She hid in the garage
and when she heard that name
She 'knew' true love
is not a mirage
and nothin' burns down
no high wires to walk
not when Sunny
stays Home
to count the years
and share Her tears
with Michelle
Sunny stays Home
together they count the years
now they 'know'
that they always
'knew' it
end

The inspector takes the item and says…”it’s a ticket to a Shawn Colvin show…looks like “body” might have gone to the show…” Pathologist: “it’s beginning to make sense now…” Inspector…”yeah, we’ve seen a few go down hard…but nothing like this…” Pathologist: “I thought she left town in the 90’s…” Inspector: “yeah, she did…you wouldn’t believe the fucking carnage…” Pathologist: “weren’t there any charges…?” Inspector: “what the fuck are ya gonna do…these fucking guys beg for it…literally beg for it…” Pathologist: “Jesus Christ…what the fuck is it about her…?” Inspector: “I’ve heard some theories but nobody really fucking knows…I mean she might as well have a fucking ray gun…” Pathologist: “doesn’t seem right…” Inspector: “I’m tellin’ ya…whatever the fuck it is…these guys fucking beg for it…” Pathologist: “weirdos?” Inspector: “no they’re almost always poets…” Pathologist: “that’s what I said…fucking weirdos…” Inspector: “yeah…I guess it depends on how you look at it…” One of the attending officers comes over and says: “Inspector, it’s the voice, it’s the fucking voice….I went to a show once and I swear to God it almost got me…plus she’s a fucking babe…you can’t take your fucking eyes off her…it’s like a fucking trance…” Inspector: “Jesus, how’d you get out…” Officer, I was lucky…I had my radio on and got a call and it snapped me out of it but I had to see a shrink for 2 fucking years…I swear to God!…it’s deep shit…whatever the fuck it is…” Pathologist: “why don’t they warn people?” Inspector: “there’s nothing you can do…they’re like fucking zombies…some of ’em heard her in the 80’s amd jumped off bridges and shit…” Inspector: “yeah, it’s true…I saw some of that…I heard about one fucking guy from Boston had it so fucking bad he’s living in a tree in some park and can’t even talk anymore…” Officer: “yeah, it’s some wild assed shit…some guys are more susceptible than others is what I hear like for some reason dipshits don’t get affected…it’s only the ones that start thinkin’ about her and once they go to the second show…that’s it…bada bing bada boom…loony bin for fucking life…or livin’ like a fucking squirrel…” Officer: “yeah, that fuckin’ Boston guy was a fuckin’ psychotherapist and studied philosophy or some shit…now they can’t even get his ass out of the tree and I swear to God…he thinks he’s a fucking squirrel…I went up there one time just to see it for myself….it’s unfucking real…” Inspector: “why don’t they put him in an institution?” Officer: “he’s like a fucking tourist attraction, plus people feel sorry for him…they feed him nuts and shit and he hops around just like a fucking squirrel…” Pathologist: “that’s fucking crazy…they outta put the guy away…try some anti-psychotics….shock treatments…something…” Officer: “you would fucking think so but you know fucking Boston…they’re all a bunch of liberal fucking bleeding hearts…I swear to God…they treat the fucking homeless like they’re fucking human beings up there…they figure squirrel boy, as long as he don’t bite nobody…what’s the harm…they got other people sleeping in the bushes and people fallin’ all over themselves to bring ’em sandwiches and shit…if I get laid off…that’s where I’m fucking goin’…it’s fucking weirdo heaven…and I’m overdo for a fucking breakdown anyway…”Inspector: “that’s it…I’m tellin’ your fucking watch commander…back to therapy buddy…next thing you know…you’ll be livin’ in a fucking tree…” The inspector puts the “body” in the body bag and sees an I.D., picks it up…Arthur Shepherd…ring any bells?” Officer looks at it and says: “holy shit…you’re not gonna believe this…it’s fucking squirrel boy…” Inspector: “look..let’s shred this shit…I don’t want those fucking Boston assholes comin’ down here saying we fucked up their little park mascot…” Pathologist: “my lips are sealed…”
Sentenced To Eternity
I knew a little girl in Texas
she was bad
as bad can be
badder than
the baddesst part of me
all I can see
is my badass
Shawna Lee
she's badder than
the baddesst part of me
I'm doin' time now
and that's ok
she'll get me by somehow
I'm doin' eternity
for my badass Shawna Lee
workin' the rock pile
toein' the line
I can see her smile
and I feel fine
she'll send me a file
I'll cut through the bars
open up the sky
steal forever's stars
I'll do infinity
I'll populate Mars
I'll sing for Shawna Lee
just a jail bird
and a songbird
singin' in the yard
in two part harmony
Michelle and Shawna Lee
singin' eternally
won't get no probation
won't get no parole
I'm locked up forever
soul to soul
free as free can be
doin' eternity
for my darlin' Shawna Lee
end
