Come On Darkness Lyrics

Come On Darkness

Come on slowly 
Won't you rise and come 
To the top of this hill 
Where the cool breeze spills 
Now that it's dusk 
Someone drive them off the street 
Let the pavements cool 
Come on now 
So come on love 
And lay your body down, next to mine 
'Cause what we're longing for has withered in the light 
Come on darkness 
Lay your body down on us 
We've been calling you for so long now 
We're weary of your name 
Come on blackness 
Let me breathe you in 
'Cause with this clattering and din we are calling you  
Brother, have you got a smoke 
Or baby, have you got a dime 
Seems like we're all a little down on our luck 
And baby if you're workin' now out in Bakersfield 
At some honky-tonk they call the Wagon Wheel 
I feel swept and you feel rolled away 
So come on darkness, I need you today 
Come on blackness, let me breathe you in 
'Cause with this clattering and din I am calling you 
Come on darkness 
Come on darkness
