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
for 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 this endless night
take away, oh, this pain of knowing,
fill this 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, ohh, this pain of knowing,
fill this emptiness with light now
oh, with light now.
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 oh oh yeah
in the summer baby
come on come on come on baby
