* The Poppy Family left out the last verse and chorus.
They are as follows (if you're interested.)
The lyrics in last chorus are different from the others.
#3.
Ran into the water, heart full of fear, there in the
breakers I saw her near.
Reached for my darlin', held her to me, stole her away
from the angry sea.
CHORUS:
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 an endless sleep.
