Song of the Day: Shawn Colvin - Fill Me Up

I don't understand why am I waking up this morning humming to this song, with an awfully morbid headache. Seriously maybe that part of my hippocampus suddenly fired up. Well that headache sure hell of my worst withdrawal ever. I should now remember not to suddenly skip on caffeine dose and not to ignore a hunger pang. This song has been long left my playlist, I have not listen to it since somewhere in late 2009. But to be rudely awakened and humming this song while negotiating headache, well that neurons better be telling me something.

This song is not one of Shawn Colvin's famous song since 'Sunny Came Home' but something about it really feels so right. It wasn't a favorite in YouTube nobody care to upload a studio version of it that left me with the live one. You can listen to her studio version in her Myspace site HERE

I don't know what is going on up there in my twisted brain, maybe it is a sign or something?





Fill me up fill me up
I'm a long way from home
And I don't have a lot to say

Fill me up fill me up
Cause you're all that I've got
And I traveled a long, long way

Cheer me up cheer me up
Cause I'm all alone
And I'm taking it day by day

Cheer me up cheer me up
Cause you're all that I've got
And I traveled a long, long way

I'm a bellhop now on a busy day
And I'm starting at sunrise
And the color of dawn from this plane that I'm on
Is the day breaking in your eyes

I'm a still life now on a tabletop
I'm a case study in French blue
And it's clear to me now that the whole of my life
I've been making my way to you

And I know where you live
And I know who you are
Don't get too close
And don't go too far

And I might be alright
If I just see the light
I don't care if the phone don't ring
And I'll know when it's right
Like a voice in the night
And the right shade of tangerine

And I know where you live
And I know who you are
Don't get too close
And don't go too far
Don't get too close
And promise me that you'll never go too far

Never go to far...

Fill me up fill me up
I'm a long way from home
And I don't have a lot to say
Fill me up fill me up
Cause you're all that I've got
And I traveled a long long way
Cheer me up cheer me up
Cause I'm all alone
And I'm takin' it day by day
Fill me up fill me up
Cause you're all that I've got
And I traveled a long long way
But I traveled a long long way
Yeah I traveled a long long way.
