Endless Sleep Lyrics - Marty Wilde

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.
