Sonny’s Dream

Ron Hynes

[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
