Darkness, Darkness Jesse Colin Young Am G Dm Am Darkness, darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning, For the things I cannot see Keep my mind from constant turning, Toward the things I cannot be Things I cannot be. Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome, Is the day that brings me here I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depths of fear Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night Take away this pain of knowing, Fill this emptiness with night now Emptiness with night now Darkness, darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning, For the things I cannot see Keep my mind from constant turning, Toward the things I cannot be Things I cannot be. Darkness, darkness, emptiness, emptiness.
