Sonnys Dream

G Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone C G Your daddy's a sailor, never comes home D The nights are so long, silence goes on C G D Feeling so tired, not all that strong G Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open place C G Take off your shoes, get out of the race D Lay down your head by the soft river bed C G D But Sonny always remembers the words Mama said G Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone C G Your daddy's a sailor, never comes home D The nights are so long, silence goes on C G D Feeling so tired, not all that strong G It's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there C G Walks to the highway, stands there and stares D The mailman comes 'round, with the mailbag at four C G D Telling Sonny stories, of silver and gold G Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone C G Your daddy's a sailor, never comes home D The nights are so long, silence goes on C G D Feeling so tired, not all that strong G Sonny carries his load, though he's barely a man C G Not much to do, does what he can D Watches the sea from a room by the stairs C G D Sea keeps on rollin', done that for years G Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone C G Your daddy's a sailor, never comes home D The nights are so long, silence goes on C G D Feeling so tired, not all that strong G So many years have passed, Sonny's old and alone C G His Daddy's a sailor, never came home D Sometimes he wonders what his life could've been C G D But from the grave, mama still haunts his dreams G Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone C G Your daddy's a sailor, never comes home D The nights are so long, silence goes on C G D Feeling so tired, not all that strong G Sonny don't go away
