The night was dark, rain fallin' down Look for my baby, he's nowhere around I traced his footsteps down to the shore Afraid he's gone forever more [Chorus] I looked at the sea, and it seemed to say, "I took your baby from you away" I heard a voice, cryin' in the deep, "Come join your baby in my endless sleep" Why did we quarrel? Why did we fight? Why did I leave him alone tonight? That's why his footsteps ran to the sea That's why my baby is gone from me [Repeat Chorus] Ran in the water, heart full of fear There in the breakers, I saw him near Reached for my baby, held him to me Stole him 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, "He's mine to keep" I saved my baby from that endless sleep I saved my baby from that endless sleep I saved my baby from that endless sleep
