Endless Sleep

The night was dark, rain falling down Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around Traced her footsteps down to the shore 'Fraid she's gone forever more I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard a voice crying 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 is gone from me I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard a voice crying in the deep Come join me baby, in my endless sleep Ran in the water, heart full of fear There in the breakers I saw her near Reached for my baby, held her to me Stole her away from the endless sleep 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 that endless sleep
