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 Towards the things I cannot be Ah yes, the things I cannot see Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome Is the day that brings me here 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 the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness of fright Ah yes, the emptiness of fright
