[Verse 1]

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow

Take my hand and let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow

In the silence of your deep

[Verse 2]

Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning

For the things that cannot be

Keep my mind from constant turning

Toward the things I cannot see

Things I cannot see

Oh, the things I cannot see

[Verse 3]

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome

Is the day that brings me here

I have felt the edge of sadness

I have known the depth of fear

[Verse 4]

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness of right now

Emptiness of right now

Emptiness of right now

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow

Take my hand and let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow

In the silence of your deep

[Verse 4]

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness of right now

Emptiness of right now

Emptiness of right now
