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 forevermore
I looked at the sea and it seemed the same
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 has gone from me
I looked at the sea and it seemed the same
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 break, I saw her near
Reached for my darling, held her to me
Stole her away from the angry sea
Stole her away from the angry sea
I looked at the sea and it seemed the same
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
Endless sleep
Endless sleep
