[Verse 1:]
The night was dark
Rain falling 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

[Verse 2:]
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:]

[Bridge:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
