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,
To the things I cannot be
Darkness, Darkness ...
be my blanket,
Cover me with endless night
Take away the pain of knowing,
Fill the emptiness with light
Fill this emptiness ..
with light
