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 yearnin'
for the things I can not see
keep my mind from constant turnin'
to the things I can not be

Darkness Darkness, be my blanket
cover me with the endless night
take away, oh, this pain of knowing
fill this emptyness with light
emptyness 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 emptyness with light now
oh, with light now
now

Darkness Darkness, be my blanket
cover me with the endless night
take away, oh, this pain of knowing
fill this emptyness 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

[ad lib: oh yeah, in the summer baby, c'mon c'mon c'mon baby
,oooh yeah in the summertime]
