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 the yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see 

Darkness, darkness,
Long and lonesome,
Ease the day that brings me pain.
I have felt the edge of sadness,
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 of right 

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 I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see 
Toward the things I cannot see
