Jody Reynolds - Endless Sleep lyrics

rate me

The night was black, rain fallin down<br />

Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around<br />

Traced her footsteps down to the shore<br />

Fraid she's gone forever more<br />

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say<br />

I took your baby from you away.<br />

I heard a voice cryin in the deep<br />

Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep.<br />

<br />

Why did we quarrel, why did we fight?<br />

Why did I leave her alone tonight?<br />

That's why her footsteps ran into the sea<br />

That's why my baby has gone from me.<br />

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say<br />

I took your baby from you away.<br />

I heard a voice cryin in the deep<br />

Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep.<br />

<br />

Ran in the water, heart full of fear<br />

There in the breakers I saw her near<br />

Reached for my darlin, held her to me<br />

Stole her away from the angry sea<br />

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say<br />

You took your baby from me away.<br />

My heart cried out she's mine to keep<br />

I saved my baby from an endless sleep.<br />

<br />

Endless sleep, endless sleep
