Darkness,darkness..

(lyrics by Jesse Colin Young
1st performance by the Youngbloods..
Robert Plant's version is on the player..)


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,
to the things I cannot be..

Darkness, darkness,
be my blanket,
cover me with the endless night..
Take away the pain of knowing,
fill the emptiness with light..
Emptiness with light now..

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 light now..
Emptiness with light now..

Darkness, darkness,
be my blanket,
cover me with the endless night..
Take away this pain of knowing,
fill this emptiness with light now..
Oh with light 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..
In the silence of your deep..
