[Intro]
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh

[Verse 1]
The night was dark, rain fallin' down
Looked 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 cryin' in the deep
Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh

[Verse 3]
Ran in the water, heart full of fear (Ah-ooh)
There in the breakers, I saw him near (Ah-ooh)
Reached for my baby, held him to me (Ah-ooh)
Stole him away from the endless sleep

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
