The night was black, rain falling down Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around Traced her footsteps down to the shore Afraid she's gone forever more I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard her 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 has gone from me I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard her voice crying in the deep Come join me baby in my endless sleep
Ran in the water, heart full of fear There in the breaker 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 you away My heart cried out, she's mine to keep I saved my baby from an endless sleep Endless sleep Endless sleep Endless sleep
