Richard Shindell Darkness Darkness
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 the yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see
Darkness, darkness,
Long and lonesome,
Ease the day that brings me pain.
I have felt the edge of sadness,
I have known the depths of fear.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with endless night,
Take away, the pain of knowing,
Fill the emptiness of right
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
Hide the yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see
Toward the things I cannot see
