Darkness

"Darkness, Darkness,
Be my pillow,
Take my head & 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.

Darkness, Darkness,
Long & 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.

Darkness, Darkness,
Be my pillow,
Take my head & let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence of your deep..."
