Darkness, darkness, be my pillow Take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow In the silence of your dreams Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning For the things that cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Towards the things I cannot see now Towards the things I cannot see now, now The things I cannot see now, now
Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome Is the day that brings me here I have found the edge of sadness I have known the depths of fear Darkness, darkness, oh be my blanket Cover me with the endless night Take away, away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness of fright now The emptiness of fright now Fill the emptiness of fright
Darkness, darkness, be my pillow Oh take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of my shadow In the silence of my dream Darkness, darkness, be my blanket Cover me with my endless night Take away, away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness of fright now Fill the emptiness of fright now Fill the emptiness of fright
