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 the endless night

Take away the pain of knowing,

fill the 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 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 this pain of knowing,

fill this emptiness with light now

Oh 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

In the oh oh yeah

In the summer baby

come on come on come on baby...
