Darkness Darkness Songtext
von Iain Matthews

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 had me yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
Toward the things I cannot see.

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome
As the day brings the pain
I have failed the edge of stillness
I have known the depth of fear.


Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with endless night
Take away, take away this pain away
Fill the emptiness with bright
Fill the emptiness with bright.

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 had me yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
All the things I cannot see.
