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 I cannot see
Keep my mind from constant turning
To the things I cannot be
Darkness, darkness be my blanket
Cover me with this endless night
Take away, oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light
Emptiness with light now
Darkness, darkness long and lonesome
As the day that brings me here
I have found the edge of sadness
I have the known the depths of fear
Darkness, darkness be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away, oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light now
Emptiness with light now, now
Darkness, darkness be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light now
Oh, with light now
Darkness, darkness be my pillow
Take my hand and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
In the silence of your deep
In the, oh, oh, hey, yeah, oh, yeah
In the summer baby
Oh yeah, oh, in the summer baby
In the summer baby
Ooh yeah
Come, on come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on baby
In the summer time baby
In the summer time
