Darkness darkness, be my pillow Take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow In the silence of your dream 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 The things I cannot see now Darkness darkness, long and lonesome Is the day brings me here I have found the edge of sadness I have known the depths of fear Darkness darkness, be my blanket Cover my with the endless night Take away away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness of right now The emptiness of right now Fill the emptiness of right now Darkness darkness, be my pillow 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 my with the endless night Take away away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness of right now In the emptiness of right now In the emptiness of right now
