Darkness, darkness Be my pillow Take me in and let me sleep In the coolness of the shadow In the silence of the deep Darkness, darkness Hide my yearning for the things that cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Towards the thing that cannot see Thing that cannot see, Thing that cannot see. Darkness, darkness Long and lonesome is the day that brings me everything I have felt the edge of sorrow, I have known the depth of fear. Darkness, darkness Be my blanket Trouble me with your endless night, Take away, take away, take away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness with bright Emptiness with bright, Emptiness with bright Darkness, darkness Be my blanket Take me in and cover me Take away, take away, take away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness with bright, Emptiness with bright, Emptiness with bright Emptiness, loneliness Take away Emptiness, loneliness Take away My sorrow (Levinger)
