Darkness, darkness, be my pillow

Take my hand let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow

In the silence of your deep



Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning

For the things that cannot be

Keep my mind from constant turning

Toward the things that cannot see, no, no



Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome

Is the day that brings my happiness

I have found the edge of silence

Oh, I am in depths of fear



Darkness, darkness, be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away, take away the pain of your way

Fill the emptiness with light, na na na na na



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, hide my yearning

For the things that cannot be

Keep my mind, keep my mind from constant turning

Toward the things that cannot see, no, no, oh
