Sonny

Sonny - Mary Black/Dolores Keane/Emmylou Harris (愛美蘿·哈里斯)

Composer：Thom Moore

Sonny don't go away

I'm here all alone

Your daddy's a sailor

Never comes home

Nights are so long

Silence goes on

I'm feeling so tired

And not all that strong

Sonny lives on a farm

In a wide open space

Take off your shoes

Stay out of the race

Lay down your head

On a soft river bed

Sonny always remembers the words mama says

Sonny don't go away

I'm here all alone

Your daddy's a sailor

Never comes home

Nights are so long

Silence goes on

I'm feeling so tired

And not all that strong

Sonny works on the land

Though he's barely a man

There's not much to do but

He does what he can

Sits by his window in his room

By the stairs

Watching the waves

Drifting soft on the pier

Sonny don't go away

I'm here all alone

Your daddy's a sailor

Never comes home

Nights are so long

Silence goes on

I'm feeling so tired

And not all that strong

Many years have rolled on

Sonny's old and alone

His daddy the sailor

Never came home

Sometimes he wonders

What his life might have been

But from the grave mama

Still haunts his dreams

Sonny don't go away

I'm here all alone

Your daddy's a sailor

Never comes home

Nights are so long

Silence goes on

I'm feeling so tired

And not all that strong

Sonny don't go away
