Endless Sleep

(Album: Why Not Me - 1984)

The night was dark, rain falling 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, crying 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

[Repeat 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
