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 be

Keep my mind from constant turning

Toward the things I cannot see now

Things I cannot see now

Things I cannot see



Darkness, darkness,

Long and lonesome,

Ease the day that brings me pain.

I have felt the edge of sadness,

I have known the depth of fear.

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,

Cover me with the endless night,

Take away, take away the pain of knowing,

Fill the emptiness of right now,

Emptiness of right now, now, now

Emptiness of ri-ight now.



Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,

Take my hand, and let me sleep.

In the coolness of your shadow,

In the silence, the silence of your deep.

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,

Cover me with the endless night,

Take away, take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness of right now,

Emptiness of right now now now

Emptiness of right....

Oh yeah Oh yeah

Emptiness, emptiness

Oh yeah
