SONNYS DREAM


Sonny lives on a farm,on a wide open space
Where you take off your sneakers,and give up the race
And you lay down your head,by the sweet river bed
But Sonny remembers what his mamma's voice says

Sonny carries a load but he's barely a man
That ain't all that you do,still he does what he can
And he watches the sea,from a room by the stairs
And a wave keeps on rollin',they've done that for years

Chorus
Oh Sonny don't go away,I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long,and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired,I'm not all that strong.....

And it's a hundred miles to town
Sonnys 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 has his dreams,full of silver and
gold....

Sonnys 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 wild world outside
And I know I can't hold him
Though I tried and I tried I tried........
