Jody Reynolds - Endless Sleep Lyrics

The night was black, rain fallin' 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 cryin' 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 a voice cryin' 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 darlin', 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 me away"
My heart cried out "she's mine to keep"
I saved my baby from an endless sleep

Endless sleep, endless sleep
Endless sleep, endless sleep
