Biography:
The Poppy Family was a late 1960s-early 70s Canadian pop musical group based in Vancouver, British Columbia. A product of the "Hippie generation," they brought a cleaner cut image, capitalizing on the vocal talents and good looks of Susan Jacks. Managed and produced by her husband Terry Jacks (vocals/guitar), with Craig McCaw (guitar) and Satwan Singh (drums), the group recorded two albums, from which came their best known songs Which Way You Goin', Billy? and That's Where I Went Wrong (1969).

#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.
OUTRO:
Endless sleep, endless sleep..(Fade.) (Enjoy..KK.)
