Darkness, Darkness — Golden Earring

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
