Lyrics

[00:01.67] Hayley Westenra - Sonny
[00:05.41]
[00:18.04] Sonny lives on a farm
[00:22.56] In a wide open space
[00:26.56] Take off your shoes
[00:30.76] Stay out of the rain
[00:34.15] Lay down your head
[00:37.73] On a soft riverbed
[00:41.30] Sonny always remembers
[00:45.95] The words Mama said
[00:49.01]
[00:51.66] Sonny, don't go away
[00:56.42] I'm here all alone
[01:00.61] Your daddy is a sailor
[01:05.18] Never comes home
[01:09.49] Nights are so long
[01:13.74] Silence goes on
[01:17.74] I'm feeling so tired
[01:22.64] And not all that strong
[01:25.32]
[01:46.32] Many years have rolled on
[01:51.07] Sonny's old and alone
[01:55.43] His daddy, the sailor
[01:59.32] Never came home
[02:04.01] Sometimes he wonders
[02:07.66] What his life might've been
[02:11.87] Still from the grave
[02:15.77] Mama's voice haunts his dreams
[02:18.74]
[02:22.45] Sonny, don't go away
[02:27.23] I'm here all alone
[02:31.40] Your daddy, the sailor
[02:36.55] Never comes home
[02:40.99] Nights are so long
[02:44.82] Silence goes on
[02:48.92] I'm feeling so tired
[02:53.43] And not all that strong
[02:54.90]
[02:58.27] Sonny, don't go away
[03:01.58]
