Jody Reynold & the Storms Endless Sleep Letras:The night was black, rain fallin' down,
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around.
Traced her footstep down to the shore,
'Fraid she's gone forevermore.
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.
[Más Letras en es.mp3lyrics.org/pUNF]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.
[Fade.]
Endless sleep.
Endless sleep.
