SONNY
R. Hynes
Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space Take off your shoes, stay out of the race Lay down your head, on a soft river bed Sonny always remembers the words Mamma says.
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 and not all that strong.
Sonny works on the land, though he’s barely a man There’s not much to do but he does what he can Sits by his window in his room by the stairs Watching the waves drifting soft on the pier.
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 and not all that strong.
Many years have rolled on, Sonny’s old and alone His Daddy the sailor, never came home Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been But from the grave Mamma still haunts his dreams.
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 and not all that strong.
Waking up to kiss you and nobody’s there The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air It’s hard Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running round It’s funny how things never change in this old town So far from the stars
And I want to tell you everything The words I never got to say the first time around And I remember everything From when we were the children playing in this fairground Wish I was there with you now
If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you
I saw that you moved on with someone new In the pub that we met he’s got his arms around you It’s so hard So hard
And I want to tell you everything The words I never got to say the first time around And I remember everything From when we were the children playing in this fairground Wish I was there with you now
Because if the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you You still make me nervous when you walk in the room Them butterflies they come alive when I’m next to you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you
And I know that it’s wrong That I can’t move on But there’s something about you
If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you You still make me nervous when you walk in the room Them butterflies they come alive when I’m next to you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you Everything comes back to you

Lyrics
Hello, it’s me I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet To go over everything They say that time’s supposed to heal ya But I ain’t done much healing
Hello, can you hear me? I’m in California dreaming about who we used to be When we were younger and free I’ve forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feetT
here’s such a difference between us And a million miles
Hello from the other side I must’ve called a thousand times To tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done But when I call, you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside At least I can say that I’ve tried To tell you I’m sorry for breaking your heart But it don’t matter, it clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore
Hello, how are you? It’s so typical of me to talk about myself, I’m sorry I hope that you’re well Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?It’s no secret that the both of us are running out of time
So hello from the other side (Other side) I must’ve called a thousand times (Thousand times) To tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done But when I call, you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside (Outside) At least I can say that I’ve tried (I’ve tried) To tell you I’m sorry for breaking your heart But it don’t matter, it clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore
Hello from the other side (Other side) I must’ve called a thousand times (Thousand times) To tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done But when I call, you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside (Outside) At least I can say that I’ve tried (I’ve tried) To tell you I’m sorry for breaking your heart But it don’t matter, it clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore
You’ll never be the sun turning in the sky And you won’t be the moon above us on the moonlit night And you won’t be the stars in heaven although they burn so bright But even on the deepest ocean you will be the light
You may not always shine as you go barefoot over stones You might be so long together or you might walk alone And you’ll find that love comes easy Or that love is always right So even when the storm clouds gather you will be the light
And if you lose a parting side when love turns round on you Leaving the past behind is knowing you’ll do like you always Holding you blind keeping you true
You’ll never be the sun turning in the sky and you won’t be the moon above us on the moonlit night and you won’t be the stars in heaven although they burn so bright but even on the deepest ocean you will be the light you will be the light you will be the light

The younger melody was composed by Kentuckian John Jacob Niles, collector and performer of Appalachian folk songs, and an important influence on the American Folk revival in the 1950s. In a biography of Niles—I Wonder As I Wander—Professor Ron Pen of the University of Kentucky has observed that Niles created a completely different melody from the versions he had collected in Kentucky in 1916. The melody used for the choral arrangement on this disc is the version sung by Irish singer/songwriter Christy Moore, who learned the song from Scottish folk singer Hamish Imlach in 1968. This modern Scottish song is a rendering of an Appalachian antecedent of Niles’ version collected by Cecil Sharp in Kentucky and published in English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians (1917).
