Órla Fallon - Sonny

Sonny ^Glives on a farm, in a wide open space Take off your shoes, Stay ^Cout of the ^Grace ^DLay down your head, with a soft river bed Sonny ^Calways remembers, the ^Gwords mamma ^Dsaid

Sonny ^Gdon’t go away, I’m here all alone Your daddy’s a sailor, ^Cnever comes ^Ghome ^DNights are so long, silence goes on I’m ^Cfeeling so tired, I’m ^Gnot all that ^Dstrong

Sonny ^Gworks on the land, though he’s barely a man There’s not much to do, but he ^Cdoes what he ^Gcan ^DSits by his window, in his room by the stairs ^CWatching the waves, drifting ^Gsoft on the ^Dpier

Sonny ^Gdon’t go away, I’m here all alone Your daddy’s a sailor, ^Cnever comes ^Ghome ^DNights are so long, silence goes on I’m ^Cfeeling so tired, I’m ^Gnot all that ^Dstrong

Many ^Gyears have rolled on, sonny’s old and alone His daddy’s a sailor, ^Cnever came ^Ghome ^DSometimes he wonders, what his life might have been ^CStill, from the grave, mamma’s ^Gvoice haunts his ^Ddreams

Sonny ^Gdon’t go away, I’m here all alone Your daddy’s a sailor, ^Cnever comes ^Ghome ^DNights are so long, silence goes on I’m ^Cfeeling so tired, I’m ^Gnot all that ^Dstrong

Sonny ^Gdon’t go away
