Endless sleep (Audio)

The night was black, rain falling down
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
'fraid she's gone forevermore.

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.

Chorus

There in the breakers I saw her near
Reached for my darling, held her to me
Stole her away from the angry sea.

I saved my baby from an |: |: endless sleep :| :|
