Endless Sleep

The night was black, rain fallin' down

Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around

Traced her footsteps down to the shore

'Fraid she's gone forevermore

I looked at the sea, and it seemed to say

“I took your baby from you away"

I heard a voice cryin' in the deep

“Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep"

Why did we quarrel? Why did we fight?

Why did I leave her alone tonight?

That's why her footsteps ran into the sea

That's why my baby has gone from me

I looked at the sea, and it seemed to say

“I took your baby from you away"

I heard a voice cryin' in the deep

“Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep"

Ran in the water, heart full of fear

There in the breaker I saw her near

Reached for my darlin', held her to me

Stole her away from the angry sea

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say

“You took your baby from me away"

My heart cried out, “She's mine to keep

I saved my baby from an endless sleep

Endless sleep

Endless sleep

Endless sleep

Endless sleep"
