The night was black, rain fallin' down; Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around. Traced her footsteps down to the shore, '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. :|| _____________________________________________ Music industry reports at the time of this song's release, claiming that the depressing content actually inspired some troubled teen couples to commit suicide, got this song banned from some radio stations.
