ENDLESS SLEEP
(Reynolds - Nance)
JODY REYNOLDS (Demon 1507, 1958)
The night was black, rain falling down
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone forever more
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
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 her voice crying in the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
Ran in the water, heart full of fear
There in the breaker 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 to say
You took your baby from you away
My heart cried out, she's mine to keep
I saved my baby from an endless sleep
Endless sleep
Endless sleep
Endless sleep
