Dear Darkness

Dear darkness, dear darkness

Won't you cover, cover me again?

Dear darkness, dear

I've been your friend for many years

Won'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, and

Around the throat of the one I love

Tightening, tightening, tightening

Around the throat of the one I love

Tightening, tightening, tightening

Dear 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 luck

So 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
