Sonny’s Dream Lyrics by Daoirí Farrell

2023

[Verse 1]
Sonny lives on a farm in a wide open space
Take off your sneakers and stay out of the race
And lay down your head by that sweet river bed
Sonny always remembers the words mama said
[Chorus]
Sonny don’t go away, I’m here all alone
Your daddy’s a sailor and he never comes home
And nights are so long and silence goes on
And I’m feeling so tired and not all that strong
[Verse 2]
Oh Sonny works the farm though he’s barely a man
And there ain’t that much to do but he does what he can
And he watches the sea from his room on the stairs
And the waves keep on rolling, they’ve done that for years
[Verse 3]
Well it’s one hundred miles to town, Sonny’s never been there
So he goes to the highway and he stands and he stares
And the mail comes at four but the mailman is old
Oh but still he dreams his dreams full of silver and gold
[Chorus]
Sonny don’t go away, I’m here all alone
Your daddy’s a sailor and he never comes home
And nights are so long, oh and silence goes on
I’m feeling so tired and not all that strong
[Verse 4]
Sonny‘s dreams can’t be real they’re just stories he’s read
Stars in his eyes oh and dreams in his head
And he’s hungry inside for that wide world outside
I know I can’t hold him I’ve tried and I’ve tried and I’ve tried
Oh I’ve tried and I've tried
