Sonny's Dream Songtext
von Susan McCann

Sonny don′t go away, I'm here all alone
Your daddy′s a sailor, he 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, on a wide open space
Take off your shoes, stay out of the race
Lay down your head, by the soft river bed
Sonny never forgets the words' mama said


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

Sonny works on the land, though he's hardly a man
There′s not much to do, he does what he can
He sits at the window of his room by the stairs
Watching the waves gently wash on the pier

Many years have passed on, Sonny's old and alone
His daddy the sailor, he never comes home
Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been
But from the grave mamma still haunts his dream


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