Sonny Songtext
von Daniel O’Donnell

Sonny, don′t go away
I'm here all alone
Your daddy′s a sailor
Never comes home
Nights are so long
Silence goes on
I'm feeling so tired
And not all that strong

Sonny lives on a farm
In a far distant place
Take off your shoes
Stay out of the rays
Lay down your head
By the soft river bed
Sonny always remembers
The words mama said


Sonny, don't go away
I′m here all alone
Your daddy′s a sailor
Never comes home
Nights are so long
Silence goes on
I'm feeling so tired
And not all that strong

Sonny lives all alone
Though he′s barely a man
There's not much to do
But he does what he can
Sits by his window
In his room on the stairs
Watching the waves
Drifting soft on the pier

Sonny, don′t go away
I'm here all alone
Your daddy′s a sailor
Never comes home
Nights are so long
Silence goes on
I'm feeling so tired
And not all that strong


Many years have rolled on
Sonny's old and alone
His daddy′s a sailor
Never came home
Sometimes he wonders
What his life might have been
Still from the grave
Mama′s voice haunts his dreams

Sonny, don't go away
I′m here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor
Never comes home
Nights are so long
Silence goes on
I′m feeling so tired
And not all that strong

Sonny, don't go away
