Lyrics Shakin' Stevens

Shakin' Stevens

Endless Sleep

The night was black, 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 her 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 has gone from me

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say

I took your baby from you away

I heard her voice crying in the deep

Come join me baby in my endless sleep

Ran in the water, heart full of fear

There in the breaker I saw her near

Reached for my darling, 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 you away

My heart cried out, she's mine to keep

I saved my baby from an endless sleep

Endless sleep

Endless sleep

Endless sleep
