The night was dark, rain fallin' down   Looked for my baby, he's nowhere around   I traced his footsteps down to the shore   Afraid he's gone forever more      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"      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      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"      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      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
