Sonny’s Dream

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space Where 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 [Chorus] Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home All the nights get so long and the silence goes on And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong [Verse 2] Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man There ain't all that to do but, he does what he can And he watches thе sea from a room by the stairs And the wavеs keep on rollin', they've done that for years And for years [Chorus] Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home All the nights get so long and the silence goes on And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong [Verse 3] And it's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there But he goes through 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 [Verse 4] 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 hungers inside for the wide world outside And he know he can't hold it though he's tried, he's tried, he's tried [Chorus] Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home All 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 alone And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home All the nights get so long, the silence goes on And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
