Sonny (2007 Remastered LP Version)

Hayley Westenra - Sonny

Sonny lives on a farm
In a wide open space
Take off your shoes
Stay out of the rain
Lay down your head
On a soft riverbed
Sonny always remembers
The words Mama said

Sonny, dont go away
Im here all alone
Your daddy is a sailor
Never comes home
Nights are so long
Silence goes on
Im feeling so tired
And not all that strong

Many years have rolled on
Sonnys old and alone
His daddy, the sailor
Never came home
Sometimes he wonders
What his life mightve been
Still from the grave
Mamas voice haunts his dreams

Sonny, dont go away
Im here all alone
Your daddy, the sailor
Never comes home
Nights are so long
Silence goes on
Im feeling so tired
And not all that strong

Sonny, dont go away
