Darkness Darkness
Darkness Darkness by 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 that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Towards the things I cannot see.

Darkness Darkness long and lonely
Is the day that brings me here
I have known 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
And the emptiness of fright
