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........
