Darkness, Darkness

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
