Sonny

Sonny - Mary Black/Dolores Keane/Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)

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 far to place

Take off your shoes stay out of the rain

Lay down your head on a soft river bed

Sonny always remembers the words Mamma said

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

Still from the grave Mamma 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
