Written by Ron Hynes

lyrics

Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space
You can take off your shoes and give up the race
You can lay down your head by a sweet river bed
But Sonny always remembers what it was his Mama said,

“Sonny don’t go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy’s a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I’m feeling so tired, I’m not all that strong”

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 watches the sea from a room by the stairs
And the waves keep on rollin’, they’ve done that for years

Sonny don’t go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy’s a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I’m feeling so tired, I’m not all that strong

Sonny’s dreams can’t be real, they’re just stories he’s read
They’re the stars in his eyes, they’re just dreams in his head
And he’s hungry inside for the wide world outside
And I know I can’t hold him though I’ve tried and I’ve tried

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

Sonny don’t go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy’s a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I’m feeling so tired, I’m not all that strong
