since I walked the streets
but then things are the same
since I first took to running around
My footsteps quicken as I walk the street
of the place that I once called home
I'm here to see my father and mother
whose hearts I broke long ago
I waited so long, waited so long
Drowned by the lights of a faraway city
My hopes and my spirits were high
Wasted my substance on riotous living
And prayed every night I could die
Sluts in the gutter with bottle in hand
and I dream of my home far away
My pride kept me running each day
I waited so long, waited so long
waited so long to set things right
the sun it's so bright in my eyes.
they're lyin' in death side by side.
I feel the tears wellin' up in my throat
as I flung myself to the ground
I'm sorry father, I'm sorry mother,
I know how I have let you down
I waited too long, waited too long
I waited too long, waited too long
I waited too long, waited too long
Waited too long, waited too long
Waited too long, waited too long
The night was black, rain falling down
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone forevermore
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice crying in deep
Why did we quarrel, why didn't we fight
Why did I leave her alone tonight
That's why my baby is gone from me
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice crying in deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
I ran in the water, heart full of fear
There on the breakers, I saw her near
I reached for my darling, held her to me
I had to save her from an endless sea
I heard the voice of the ocean's roar
Be with you baby forevermore
I join my baby in an endless sleep
Endless sleep, end less sleep
Endless sleep, endless sleep
