Endless Sleep By Hank Williams Jr. « © '66 Johnstone Montei Music » The night was black rain falling down Look for my baby she's nowhere around Traced her footsteps down to the shore Afraid she's gone for evermore 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, Chorus Ran in the water heart full of fear There in the breakers I saw her near Reached for my darling held her to me Stole her away from the angry sea Chorus 2: 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 that endless sleep Endless sleep Endless sleep Endless sleep
