(chorus)
Sonny dont go away, I am here all alone
And your daddys a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
And Im feelin so tired, Im not all that strong
Sonny lives on a farm, on a wide open space
Where you can take off your sneakers
And give up the race
And you can lay down your head
By a sweet river bed
But sonny always remembers
What it was his mama said
(chorus)
Sonny carries a load, though hes barely a man
There aint 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
Theyve done that for years
(chorus)
Its a hundred miles to town,
Sonnys never been there
And he goes to the highway
And stands there and stares
And the mail comes at four,
And the mailman is old
Oh but still dreams his dreams
Full of silver and gold
Sonnys dreams cant be real,
Theyre just storieshes read
Theyre just stars in his eyes,
Theyre just dreams in his head
And hes hungry inside for that wide world outside
And I know I cant hold him though Ive tried, and
Ive tried, and Ive tried
(chorus)
