Sonny's Dream-Ron Hynes

[00:12.67]Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space [00:18.62]Where you can take off your shoes [00:21.82]And give up the race [00:24.30]You could lay down your head by a sweet river bed [00:30.18]But Sonny always remembers what it was his Mama said [00:39.19]Oh Sonny don't go away I am here all alone [00:45.69]And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home [00:51.11]And the nights get so long and the silence goes on [00:57.12]And I'm feeling so tired I'm not all that strong [01:06.43]Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man [01:11.86]There ain't all that to do still he does what he can [01:18.51]And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs [01:24.07]And the waves keep on rolling [01:27.37]They've done that for years [01:33.08]Oh Sonny don't go away I am here all alone [01:39.55]And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home [01:44.77]And the nights get so long and the silence goes on [01:50.95]And I'm feeling so tired I'm not all that strong [01:58.70] [02:12.14]Sonny's dreams can't be real [02:15.16]They're just stories he's read [02:17.72]They're just stars in his eyes [02:20.60]They're just dreams in his head [02:24.04]And he's hungry inside for the wide world outside [02:29.71]And I know I can't hold him [02:32.81]Though I've tried and I've tried [02:38.69]Oh Sonny don't go away I am here all alone [02:45.11]And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home [02:50.39]And the nights get so long and the silence goes on [02:56.40]And I'm feeling so tired I'm not all that strong [03:05.16]Oh Sonny don't go away I am here all alone [03:11.79]And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home [03:17.01]And the nights get so long and the silence goes on [03:23.05]And I'm feeling so tired I'm not all that strong [03:31.31]
