Endless Sleep

Am
The night was black, rain fallin' down;

                          E7        Am
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around.


Traced her footsteps down to the shore,

                     E7    Am
'Fraid she's gone forever more.

    F   
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say,

 C
"I took your baby from you away."

F
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep,

C                           G        C      C - C/B - Am
"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.
