Endless Sleep

The night was black rain fallin' down
Looked for my baby she's no where aroun'
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone for ever more

Well I looked at the sea, seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cry 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 last night
That's why her foot steps ran down to the sea
That's why my baby has gone from me

Well I looked at the sea seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
Well I heard a voice cry in the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
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

Well I looked at the sea seemed to say
You took your baby from me away
I heard a voice cryin' from the deep
You saved your baby from the endless sleep
Endless sleep endless sleep
