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 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, oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light, now
Emptiness, 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
