Darkness, Darkness
--words and music by Jesse Colin Young

from "The Ghost Poets", 1993, Razor & Tie Entertainment



Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

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 I cannot be.
Keep my mind from constant turning,
To the things I cannot see now,
Things I cannot see.

Darkness, darkness,
(darkness, darkness)
Long and lonesome, (long and lonesome)
Is the day (is the day)
That brings me here (that brings me here)
I have found (I have found)
the edge of sadness (the edge of sadness),
I have known (I have known)
the depth of fear (the depth of fear).

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of lonely,
Fill the emptiness of right now
Emptiness of right now

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of lonely,
Fill the emptiness of right now
Emptiness of right now
Emptiness of right now

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
