<b>Sonny's Dream</b> by <i>Gerard Smith</i><br />

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

Daddy's a sailor, he never comes home

And the nights are so long and the silence goes on

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

Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space

Take off your shoes and stay on the race

Lay down your head by the soft river bed

Sonny always remembers the words his mama said

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

Daddy's a sailor, he never comes home

And the nights are so long and the silence goes on

I'm feelin' so tired, not all that strong

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

There's not much to do, he just does what he can

He sits by the window of his room on the stairs

Watchin' the waves gently wash down the years

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

Daddy's a sailor, he never comes home

And the nights are so long and the silence goes on

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

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

His daddy's a sailor, he never came home

Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been

But from the grave, his mama still haunts his dreams

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

Daddy's a sailor, he never comes home

The nights are so long and the silence goes on

I'm feelin' so tired, not all that strong

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

Daddy's a sailor, he never comes home

And the nights are so long and the silence goes on

I'm feelin' so tired, not all that strong

Sonny, don't go away
