Sonny |
Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space |
Take off your shoes, stay out of the race |
Lay down your head, on a soft river bed |
Sonny always remembers the words Mamma says |
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 works on the land, 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 by the stairs |
Watching the waves drifting soft on the pier |
Many years have rolled on, Sonny’s old and alone |
His Daddy’s sailor, never came home |
Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been |
Still from the grave Mamma still haunts his dreams |
