Darkness, darkness, be my pillow Take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow In the silence of your deep
Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning From the things I cannot see Keep my mind from constant turning To the things I cannot be
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket Cover me with the endless night Take away, oh this pain of knowing Fill the emptiness with light Emptiness with light now
Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome Is the day that brings me here I have felt the edge of sadness I have known the depths of fear
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket Cover me with the endless night Take away, oh this pain of knowing Fill this emptiness with light now Emptiness with light now
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket Cover me with the endless night Take away, oh this pain of knowing Fill this emptiness with light now Oh...
Darkness, darkness, be my pillow Take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow In the silence of your deep In the silence of your deep In the silence of your deep
