"Endless Sleep" Lyrics

The night was black rain falling down
I looked my baby she was no where around
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone for ever more

Well 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
I lost my baby to an 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 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

Out in the water heart full of fear
There in the breaker I saw her near
Reached for my baby held her to me
Dragged her away from the angry sea

Well I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
You took your baby from me away
My heart cried out because she's mine to keep
I saved my baby from the endless sleep
