Dear Darkness Lyrics

Dear darkness, dear darkness
Won't you cover, cover me again?
Dear darkness, dear
I've been your friend for many yearsWon't you do this for me, dearest darkness?
And cover me from the sun
And though the words tightening
The words are tightening around my throat and, andAround the throat of the one I love
Tightening, tightening, tightening
Around the throat of the one I love
Tightening, tightening, tighteningDear darkness, dear darkness
Now it's your time to look after us
Cause we kept your clothes, we kept your business
When everyone else was having good luckSo now it's your time, time to pay
To pay me and the one I love
With the worldly goods you stashed away
With all the things you took from us
