The night was black, rain falling down
I left my baby, she's nowhere around
Chased her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone forevermore
Well, I looked at the sea, it seemed to say
I took it, baby, from you away
I heard a 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 last night?
That's where the footsteps went down to the sea
That's where my baby has gone from me
Well, I looked at the sea, it seemed to say
I took it, baby, from you away
I heard a voice crying in the deep
Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep
Endless sleep
Endless sleep
Out in the water, heart full of fear
There in the breaker, I saw her kneel
Reached for my darling, held her to me
Dragged her away from the angry sea
Well, I looked at the sea, it seemed to say
I took it, baby, from you away
I heard a voice crying in the deep
I took it, baby, from the endless sleep
I took it, baby, from the endless sleep
