Sonny's Dream |
I Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open spaceWhere you can take off your sneakers 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 II Sonny carries a load though he's barely a manThere 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 Chorus:Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all aloneAnd your daddy's a sailor who never comes home And the nights get so long and the silence goes on And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong III And it's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been thereAnd he goes to the highway and 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 IV Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's readThey'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 V 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 feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong Chorus:Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all aloneAnd your daddy's a sailor who never comes home And the nights get so long and the silence goes on And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong (Ron Hynes)
