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 |
