Endless Sleep

The night was black
Rain fallin' down
Look 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
Chorus
Ran in the water
Heart full of fear
There in the breakers
I saw her near
Reach for my darlin'
Held her to me
Stole her away
From the angry sea
My heart cried out
She's mine to keep
I stole my baby
From the endless sleep
