Darkness, darkness, be my pillow Take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow In the silence of your dream Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning For the things that cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Towards the things I cannot see now The things I cannot see now The 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 Emptiness of right now, now, now Emptiness of right now, now Darkness darkness, be my pillow Take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of my shadow In the silence of my dream Darkness, darkness, be my blanket Cover my with the endless night Take away away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness of right now Emptiness of right now now now Emptiness of right Oh yeah, oh yeah Emptiness, emptiness Oh yeah
