Endless Sleep

The night was dark, rain falling down.

Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around.

Traced her footsteps down to the shore;

Afraid 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 back 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.
