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
