Sonny’s Dream (Live Version)

[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 these 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, still he does what he can
And he watchеs the sea from a room by the stairs
And thе waves keep on rollin', they've done that 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 these 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
And he goes to the highway and stands there and stares
And the mail comes at four
And the mailman is old
And he still dreams his dreams, full of silver and gold

[Chorus]
Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
All these 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 these nights get so long, the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
