Endless Sleep
Love's Desperate Rescue: Endless Sleep Unveiled
Lyrics
The night was dark, rain falling down.
The night is dark, and rain is falling.
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around.
The singer is searching for their baby but can't find her.
Traced her footsteps down to the shore;
The singer follows her footsteps to the shore.
Afraid she's gone forever more.
There is a fear that she may be gone forever.
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say:
The sea appears to communicate with the singer.
I took your baby from you, away.
The sea claims to have taken the baby away.
I heard a voice crying in the deep:
A voice is heard crying from the deep.
Come join me baby, in my endless sleep.
The voice invites the baby to join in an "endless sleep."
Why did we quarrel, why did we fight?
The singer reflects on the reasons for the quarrel and fight.
Why did I leave her alone tonight?
The singer regrets leaving the baby alone.
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea;
The baby's footsteps lead into the sea, suggesting a tragic choice.
That's why my baby is gone from me.
The singer believes the baby is now gone.
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say:
The sea repeats the claim of taking the baby away.
I took your baby from you, away.
The voice from the deep continues to call the baby to an "endless sleep."
I heard a voice crying in the deep:
The singer hears a cry from the deep.
Come join me baby, in my endless sleep.
The voice invites the baby again to join in an "endless sleep."
Ran in the water, heart full of fear.
The singer, fearing for the baby, runs into the water.
There in the breakers, I saw her near.
In the waves, the singer sees the baby.
Reached for my baby, held her to me.
The singer reaches for and holds the baby, rescuing her.
Stole her back from the endless sleep.
The baby is taken back from the threatened "endless sleep."
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say:
The sea seems to accuse the singer of taking the baby away.
You took your baby from me, away.
The singer's heart cries out that the baby is theirs to keep.
My heart cried out, she's mine to keep.
The singer declares having saved the baby from the "endless sleep."
I saved my baby from that endless sleep.
The singer affirms keeping the baby safe from the threat of eternal slumber.
