Sonny - Mary Black/Emmylou Harris/Dolores Keane Lyrics by:Ron Hynes Composed by:Ron Hynes Oh Sonny don't go away I am here all alone Your daddy's a sailor Who never comes home Nights get so long Silence goes on My feeling so tired Not all that strong Sonny lives on a farm In a far distance space Take off your shoes Stay I love the race Lay down your head By a soft river bed Sonny always remembers What's mama said Sonny don't go away I am here all alone Your daddy's a sailor Never comes home Nights get so long Silence goes on I'm feeling so tired Not all that strong Sonny carries a load Though he's barely a man There is not much to do What he does what he can Sits by his window When is room on the stage Watching the ways dripting soft on the way Sonny don't go away I am here all alone Your daddy's a sailor Never comes home Nights get so long Silence goes on I'm feeling so tired Not all that strong And he here have all long Sonny's old and the run His daddy's a sailor Never came home Sometimes you wonders What's is life my that been Still from the breath Mama's how is wants a drink Sonny don't go away I am here all alone Your daddy's a sailor Never comes home Nights get so long Silence goes on I'm feeling so tired Not all that strong Sonny don't go away
