Down to the Darkness Songtext
von Carole King

Everything′s lost in illusion
I keep moving, but I can't seem to get out of the shadows
Out into the light of day
Everyone′s out in the afternoon
Turning their faces up to the sun like a spotlight
What's wrong with me? I don't wanna play

You′re my obsession, I just can′t get you out of my mind
I look around and I see all the signs
They say danger

I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness
Down to the darkness
Oh, but I want you to
I know you′re gonna take me down to the darkness
Down to the darkness
Oh, but you know I want you to
Oh, yes, I want you to


I'm afraid of the dark
Oh, but I′m attracted to it
I'm afraid of the dark
I wanna run away, but I can′t do it

Through my hazy confusion
I close my eyes, but your image is indelibly burned there
Seared into my memory
Now as I stand on the edge of a precipice
Looking down into the black abyss
I know I'll be lost with just one kiss
But I wanna be

Even as the tongues of fire lick at me from below
No turning back, I just can't let go of the danger

I know you′re gonna take me down
I know you′re gonna take me down to the darkness
Oh, but I want you to
Oh, yes, I want you to

I want you to take me down, down, down to the darkness
Down, down, down to the darkness
I want you to, I want you to, I want you take me down to the darkness
