Sonny lives on a farm, in the wide open space

you can kick off your sneekers, and give up the race

you can lay your self down, by a sweet river bed

sonny always remembers, what it was his moma said__________

sonny don¹t go away, I am here all alone

and your daddy¹s a sailor, and he never comes home

and the nights get so long, and the silence goes on

and I¹m feeling so tired, I¹m not all that strong_________

-------------------

Sonny caries a load, He is barely a man

there¹s not all that much to do, still he does the best he can

and he lives in a room, at the top of the stairs

and the sea keeps on rollin in it¹s done that for years________

sonny don¹t go away, I am here all alone

and your daddy¹s a singer, and he never comes home

and the nights get so long, and the silence goes on

and I¹m feeling so tired, I¹m not all that strong_________

Towns a hundred miles away Sonny¹s never been there

he just goes to the highway and he stands there and stares

and the mail comes at four and the mail man is old

yet he¹s still dreaming dreams filled with silver and gold

sonny don¹t go away, I am here all alone

and your daddy¹s a sailor, and he never comes home

and the nights get so long, and the silence goes on

and I¹m feeling so tired, I¹m not all that strong_________

sonny don¹t go away, sonny don¹t go away
