(Jesse Colin Young)
Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
Take my head 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

Towards the things I cannot be
Oh yes, the things I cannot see
The things I cannot see


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


Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness of fright
The emptiness of fright
Oh yes, the emptiness of fright


Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
Take my head and let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep


Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away, take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness of fright
Yes, the emptiness of fright
The emptiness of fright
