Richard Shindell - Darkness, Darkness lyrics

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 the yearning For the things that cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Toward the things I cannot see Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome Is the day that brings me here I have felt the edge of silence I have known the depths of fear Darkness, darkness, be my blanket Cover me with endless night Take away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness inside 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 the yearning For the things that cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Toward the things I cannot see Toward the things I cannot see
