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.
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. Explain Request ×
