Endless Sleep
Love Lost and the Deep Blue: Endless Sleep's Haunting Tale
Lyrics
The night was black, rain fallin' down;
The night was dark, and rain was falling.
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around.
I searched for my lover, but she was nowhere to be found.
Traced her footsteps down to the shore,
Tracked her footprints to the shore.
'Fraid she's gone forever more.
Worried that she may be gone forever.
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say,
Looking at the sea, it felt like it was conveying a message.
"I took your baby from you away."
The sea claims to have taken my baby away.
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep,
Heard a voice crying from the depths of the sea.
"Come join me baby in my Endless Sleep."
The voice invites the narrator to join their lover in an endless sleep.
Why did we quarrel, why did we fight?
Reflecting on the reasons for the quarrel and fight.
Why did I leave her alone tonight?
Regret over leaving her alone that night.
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea
Her footsteps led into the sea, indicating a tragic decision.
That's why my baby has gone from me.
The narrator believes his lover is gone because of their fight.
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say,
Again, the sea suggests it took the baby away.
"I took your baby from you away."
The voice from the sea repeats the claim.
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep,
The invitation to join in an endless sleep is reiterated.
"Come join me baby in my Endless Sleep."
Ran in the water, heart full of fear,
Running into the water with a heart full of fear.
There in the breakers I saw her near;
Spots her in the waves, attempting to reach her.
Reached for my darlin', held her to me,
Successfully pulls her from the angry sea.
Stole her away from the angry sea.
Rescues her from the dangerous situation.
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say,
The sea again speaks, blaming the narrator for taking the baby away.
"You took your baby from me away."
The narrator's heart protests, claiming the baby is now safe with them.
My heart cried out, "She's mine to keep."
The heart asserts possession, declaring the baby to be theirs.
I saved my baby from an Endless Sleep.
The narrator saves the baby from a potentially tragic fate.
