Darkness, Darkness
by Jesse Colin Young
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, has me yearning,
For things that cannot be
Keep me my mind from constant turning,
Toward the things it cannot see,
Things it cannot see,
Things it cannot see
Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome,
As the day brings the pain
I have found the edge of stillness,
I live in the depth of fear
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with endless night,
Take away the pain that flows away,
Fill the emptiness with bright,
Emptiness with bright,
Emptiness with bright
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, be my blanket,
Cover me with endless night,
Take away the pain that flows away,
Fill the emptiness with bright,
Emptiness with bright,
Emptiness with bright
