Sonnys Dream

G G/C G G/C Oh, Sonny lives on a farm in a wide open space G C G Where you can take off your shoes and give up the race D You could lay down your head by a soft river bed C G D But Sonny always remembers what it was his Mama said G G/C G G/C And he carries a load though he's barely a man G C G There ain't all that much to do, still he does what he can D And he watches the waves from his room by the stairs C G D And the waves keep on rolling, oh they've done that for years G G/C G G/C Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone G C G And your Daddy's a sailor who never comes home D And the nights get so long and the silence goes on C G D And I'm feeling so tired, and I'm not all that strong G G/C G G/C Oh, and It's a hundred miles to town, but Sonny's never been there G C G And he goes to the highway, and he sits and he stares D And the mail comes at 4, and the mailman is old C G D But he keeps dreaming his dreams, full of silver and gold G G/C G G/C Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone G C G And your Daddy's a sailor who never comes home D And the nights get so long and the silence goes on C G D And I'm feeling so tired, and I'm not all that strong G G/C G G/C Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read G C G They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head D And he's hungry inside for the wide world outside C G D And I know I can't hold him though I've tried and I've tried, and I've tried CHORUS 2x G G/C G G/C Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone G C G And your Daddy's a sailor who never comes home D And the nights get so long and the silence goes on C G D And I'm feeling so tired, and I'm not all that strong
