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

Darkness, darkness
Long and lonesome
With 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

Darkness, darkness
Hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things that cannot see
