Darkness, Darkness

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, long and lonesome
 Is the day that brings me here
 I have felt the edge of silence
 I have known the depths of fear
 Darkness, darkness, hide the yearning
 For the things that cannot be
 Keep my mind from constant turning
 Towards the things I cannot see
 Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome
 Is the day that brings me here
 I have felt the edge of silence
 I have known the depths of fear
 Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
 Cover me with the endless night
 Take away the pain of knowing
 Fill the emptiness of right
 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 the yearnings
 For the things that cannot be
 Keep my mind from constant turning
 Towards the things I cannot see
 Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
 Cover me with the endless night
 Take away the pain of knowing
 Fill the emptiness of right
