SONNY LIVES ON A FARM, IN A WIDE OPEN SPACE. TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES,

STAY OUT OFF THE RACE. LAY DOWN YOUR HEAD, WITH A SOFT RIVER BED.

SONNY DON’T GO AWAY, I’M HERE ALL ALONE, YOUR DADDY’S A SAILOR,

SONNY WORKS ON THE LAND, THOUGH HE’S BARELY A MAN, THERE’S NOT MUCH TO DO,

WATCHING THE WAVES, DRIFTING SOFT ON THE PIER.
[Chorus]

SONNY DON’T GO AWAY, I’M HERE ALL ALONE, YOUR DADDY’S A SAILOR,

MANY YEARS HAVE ROLLED ON, SONNY’S OLD AND ALONE, HIS DADDY’S A SAILOR,

STILL FROM OLD GRAVES, MUMMY’S VOICE HUMS HIS DREAM.
[Chorus]

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. I’M NOT ALL THAT STRONG.
