Biography

Austin, Texas Grammy Award winning musician born January 10, 1956 in Vermillion, South Dakota. In the 27 years since the release of her debut album, Colvin has won three Grammy Awards, released eleven albums, written a critically acclaimed memoir, maintained a non-stop national and international touring schedule, appeared on countless television and radio programs, had her songs featured in major motion pictures, and created a remarkable canon of work. Colvin was born in Vermillion, South Dakota, where she lived until she was eight. A small-town childhood in the university town of Carbondale, Illinois, drew her to the guitar by the age of 10. She made her first public appearance on campus at the University of Illinois at age 15. By the late 1970s Colvin was singing in a Western Swing band in Austin, Texas—the city she now calls home.

LYRICS

Another plane went down today in the
Atlantic nine miles off shore
And every single black car that goes by just
might be yours
I haven t moved from this spot I sit here
watching TV in bed
I wanna see if the crash was sabotage
I wanna know if everyone is dead

I remember when I was fifteen me and Liz
would ride around
We liked to smoke in the car in the winter
with all the windows rolled down
I had a dream a plane exploded over my lake
one afternoon
I still remember the feeling when I woke up
I can t describe the magnitude

So many other dreams
The one that I had today
You and the Italian woman naked
Your fingers between her legs
She lay like a body in the water
She barely made a sound
She fell as quiet, as quiet, as a leaf falling
to the ground

Meanwhile back on earth I told you to
fuck off and go away
I've gotta call my friend who moved from
New York to LA
Five days before Christmas last year his
girlfriend died in a plane crash
He says the way that it happens is your heart
is so heavy it rips away upon impact
And then you just bleed inside
You don t even feel a thing
They found her on a hill in Colombia
Intact among the debris

So many other dreams
The ones where I m on death row
The ones where I don t know why
The ones where my parents drove
I wish I was with you now
Down at a Sixth Street bar
Laughing at the singer
Smoking in the car
