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
