Endless Sleep
Artist: Jody Reynolds (1958)
words and music by Jody Reynolds and Dolores Nance
The night was black, rain fallin?down
Looked for my baby, she뭩 nowhere around
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
멹raid she뭩 gone forever more
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
밒 took your baby from you away.?
I heard a voice cryin?in the deep
밅ome join me, baby, in my endless sleep.?
Why did we quarrel, why did we fight?
Why did I leave her alone tonight?
That뭩 why her footsteps ran into the sea
That뭩 why my baby has gone from me.
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
밒 took your baby from you away.?
I heard a voice cryin?in the deep
밅ome 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
밳ou took your baby from me away.?
My heart cried out 뱒he뭩 mine to keep?
I saved my baby from an endless sleep.
(Fade) endless sleep, endless sleep
