Endless Sleep - Jimmy Witherspoon
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
I reached for my baby' 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 away from me
My heart cried out she's mine to keep
I saved my baby from an endless sleep
Endless sleep
