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
