Sonny's Dream
Sonny don't go away
I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long
And the silence goes on
And I'm feelin' so tired
And I'm not all that strong
Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space
You can kick off your sneakers and give up the race
You can lay down your head by a sweet riverbed
Sonny always remembers the words his momma said, and she said
"Sonny don't go away
I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long
And the silence goes on
And I'm feelin' so tired
I'm not all that strong"
Sonny carries a load, but he's barely a man
There ain't all that to do, still he does what he can
And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs
And the waves keep on rollin', they've done that for years
Oh, Sonny don't go away
I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long
And the silence goes on
And I'm feelin' so tired
I'm not all that strong
Well it's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
But he walks to the highway and he stands there and stares
And the mail comes at four, and the mailman is old
Oh, but he still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold
Oh, Sonny don't go away
I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long
And the silence goes on
And I'm feelin' so tired
And I'm not all that strong
Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read
They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head
And he's hungry inside for that wide world outside
And I know I can't hold him, and I've tried and I've tried and I've tried
Oh, Sonny don't go away
I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long
And the silence goes on
And I'm feelin' so tired
I'm not all that strong
Oh, Sonny don't go away
I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long
And the silence goes on
And I'm feelin' so tired
I'm not all that strong
Oh, Sonny don't go away
I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long
And the silence goes on
And I'm feelin' so tired
I'm not all that strong
I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long
And the silence goes on
And I'm feelin' so tired
And I'm not all that strong
Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space
You can kick off your sneakers and give up the race
You can lay down your head by a sweet riverbed

I'm not all that strong
Oh, Sonny don't go away
I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long
And the silence goes on
And I'm feelin' so tired
I'm not all that strong
