The night was black, rain falling down
Look for my baby, she's nowhere around
Trace her footsteps down to the shore
Phrase she's gone forevermore
I looked at the sea and it seemed the same
I took it barely 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 has gone from me
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I took you baby from you away
I heard a voice crying in the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
I in the water, heart full of fear
There in the breakers, 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 the same
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 you
