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

Ah yes, 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
Ah yes, the emptiness of fright
