|
The night was dark, rain falling down |
|
Looked for my baby she's nowhere around |
|
Traced her footsteps down to the shore |
|
'Fraid she's gone forever more |
|
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say |
|
I took your 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 tonight |
|
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea |
|
That's why my baby is gone from me |
|
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say |
|
I took your baby from you away |
|
I heard a voice crying in the deep |
|
Come join me baby in my endless sleep |
|
Ran in the water, heart full of fear |
|
There in the breakers I saw her near |
|
Reached for my baby, held her to me |
|
Stole her away from the endless sleep |
|
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... |
