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 im feeling so tired im not all that strong
sonny lives on a farm
on a wide open space
and you can take off your sneakers
and give up the race
and you can lay down your head
by the sweet riverbed
sonny always remembers just what his mama said (and she said)
sonny dont 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 im feeling so tired im not all that strong
sonny carries a load though he's barely a man
here ain't all that to do, still he does what he can
And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs
And the waves keep on rollin they've done that for years
sonny dont 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 im feeling so tired im not all that strong
it's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
Yet he walks to the highway with a big fat case of beer
and the mail comes at four and the mailman is old
but he still dreams his dreams of of silver and gold
sonny dont 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 im feeling so tired im not all that strong
Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read
They're just stars in his eyes, just dreams in his head
he's hungry inside for the wide world outside
And I know I can't hold on I've tried and I've tried and i've tried
sonny dont 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 im feeling so tired im not all that strong
AND THE NIGHTS GET SO LONG AND THE SILENCE GOES ON AND I'M FEELING SO TIRED I'M NOT ALL THAT STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*YELLING*
p.s. i love signal hill. they are a cover band that sings this song. and it's incredible. it's originally by Ron Hynes. but, if you're ever in halifax, head down and check signal hill out at the lower deck. they're fantastic. FANTASTIC
i don't know how my callback went. i guess we'll find out, eh?
