Jody Reynolds Endless Sleep lyrics

The night was black, rain fallin' down
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
â€~Fraid she'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 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"

Endless sleep, endless sleep
