Darkness, darkness, be my pillow Take my hand, 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 Things I cannot see 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 The emptiness of right now The emptiness of right now
