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

Oh, Sonny don’t go away, I am here all alone
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 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 and for years

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


It’s a hundred miles to town, Sonny’s 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 he still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold

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

Sonny’s dreams can’t be real, they’re just stories he’s read
They’re just 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 and I’ve tried

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

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