Hank Williams Jr. Endless Sleep Lyrics

Endless Sleep Lyrics

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 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



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



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
