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
