Sonnys Dream

Intro: verse 1: Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space You can take off your sneakers and give up the race You can lay down your head by a sweet river bed Sonny always remembers the words his Mama said___ Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home And the nights get so long and the silence goes on 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 much to do, still he does what he can And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs And the waves keep on rolling, they've done that for years and for years Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home And the nights get so long and the silence goes on I'm feeling so tired and I'm not all that strong verse 3: It's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there But he goes to the highway and he stands there and stares And the mail comes at four and the mailman is old Sonny 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 that wide world outside But he knows it can't hold him, though he's tried and he's tried___ Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home And the nights get so long and the silence goes on I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home And the nights get so long and the silence goes on I'm feeling so tired and I'm not all that strong
