Darkness, darkness be my pillow
Take my hand and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deepDarkness, darkness hide my yearning
For the things I cannot see
Keep my mind from constant turning
To the things I cannot beDarkness, darkness be my blanket
Cover me with this endless night
Take away, oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light
Emptiness with light nowDarkness, darkness long and lonesome
As the day that brings me here
I have found the edge of sadness
I have the known the depths of fearDarkness, darkness be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away, oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light now
Emptiness with light now, nowDarkness, darkness be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light now
Oh, with light nowDarkness, darkness be my pillow
Take my hand and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
In the silence of your deep
In the, oh, oh, hey, yeah, oh, yeahIn the summer baby
Oh yeah, oh, in the summer baby
In the summer baby
Ooh yeah
Come, on come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on baby
In the summer time baby
In the summer time
