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 I cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Towards the things I cannot see now Things I cannot see now Things I cannot see 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 me with the endless night Take away, away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness of right now In the emptiness of right now In the emptiness of right now
