The night was black, rain falling down

Look for my baby, she's nowhere around

Traced her footsteps down to the shore

Afraid she's gone for evermore

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say

I took your baby from you away

I heard a voice cryin' in 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

Ran in the water, heart full of fear

There in the breakers 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 me away

My heart cried out, she's mine to keep

I saved my baby from that endless sleep

Endless sleep

Endless sleep

Endless sleep
