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

[Chorus]
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.

[Chorus]

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.
