The night was black rain falling down I looked my baby she was no where around Traced her footsteps down to the shore Afraid she's gone for ever more Well I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard her voice crying in the deep I lost my baby to an endless sleep Why did we quarrel why did we fight? Why did I leave her alone last night? That's why her foot steps ran down to the sea That's why my baby has gone from me Well I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard a voice crying in the deep Come join me baby in my endless sleep Out in the water heart full of fear There in the breaker I saw her near Reached for my baby held her to me Dragged her away from the angry sea Well I looked at the sea and it seemed to say You took your baby from me away My heart cried out because she's mine to keep I saved my baby from the endless sleep
