Sonny's Dream

Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space

And Kick off your shoes , stay out of the race

And you can lay down your head by the soft river bed

Sonny always remembers the words his Mama said

Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone

And Your daddy's the sailor who never comes home

The nights get so long, and the silence goes on

And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong

Sonny works on the land though he's barely a man

There ain't much to do, yet he does what he can

And he sits by the window in his room by the stairs

Watches the waves gently wash on the pier

Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone

Your daddy's the sailor who never comes home

The nights get so long, and the silence goes on

And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong

Many years have passed on, Sonny's old and alone

His daddy's the sailor never came home

Sometimes he wonders what his life must have been

But from the grave Mama still haunts his dreams

Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone

Your daddy's the sailor who never comes home

The nights get so long, and the silence goes on

And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong

Sonny don't go away,

Sonny don't go .....

Sonny don't ....
