Golden Earring - Darkness, Darkness lyrics

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

Towards the things I cannot be

Oh yes, the things I cannot see

the things I cannot see

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome

Is the day that brings me here

I have felt the edge of sadness

I have known the depth of fear

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness of fright

the emptiness of fright

Oh yes, the emptiness of fright

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, be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away, take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness of fright

Yes, the emptiness of fright

the emptiness of fright
