Sonny's Dream
Sonny lives on a farm
On a wide open space
Where you can take off your shoes
And give up the race
You could lay down your head
By a sweet river bed
But Sonny always remembers what it was his Mama said
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
Sonny carries a load
Though 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 and for years
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, 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 the wide world outside
And I know I can't hold him
Though I've tried and I've tried and I've tried
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
On a wide open space
Where you can take off your shoes
And give up the race
You could lay down your head
By a sweet river bed
But Sonny always remembers what it was his Mama said
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
Sonny carries a load
Though 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 and for years
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, 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 the wide world outside
And I know I can't hold him
Though I've tried and I've tried and I've tried
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
All these nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
