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 forever more
 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 breakers 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
