Colvin's vocals span from F ♯ 3 to B 4 in the song. "Sunny Came Home" is written in the key of B minor (with its chorus in D major) in common time with a tempo of 84 beats per minute. The title of the album, A Few Small Repairs, also appears in the third line of the second verse of the song, "'It's time for a few small repairs,' she said." Count the years you always knew it / Strike a match go on and do it". The song's bright, calm and warming music, fronted by a distinctive mandolin strum, contrasts very sharply with the destructive lyrics, particularly the haunting bridge: "Get the kids and bring a sweater dry is good, and wind is better. Colvin has referred to the song as a "murder ballad," indicating that at least one arson attack had a fatal outcome. The title of the song comes from the opening lyrics. The song tells the story of a woman named Sunny, returning to her hometown from (presumably) imprisonment or institutionalization, who burns down the homes of her enemies ("Sunny came home with a list of names") to avenge past offenses, real or imagined ("Sunny came home with a vengeance.") It is one of several "story songs" on A Few Small Repairs, a method of songwriting Shawn Colvin began experimenting with while writing for the album.
