Carole King Down To The Darkness Lyrics

Down To The Darkness Lyrics

Everything's lost in illusion

I keep moving, but I can't seem to get out of the shadows

Out into the light of day

Everyone's out in the afternoon

Turning their faces up to the sun like a spotlight

What's wrong with me, I don't want to play



You're my obsession, I just can't get you out of my mind

I look around and I see all the signs

They say danger



I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness

Down to the darkness

Oh, but I want you to

I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness

Down to the darkness

Oh, but you know I want you to

Oh, yes I want you to



I'm afraid of the dark

Oh, but I'm attracted to it

I'm afraid of the dark

I want to run away, but I can't do it



Through my hazy confusion

I close my eyes, but your image is indelibly burned there

Seared into my memory 

Now as I stand on the edge of the precipice

Looking down into the black abyss

I know I'll be lost with just one kiss

But I want to be



Even as the tongues of fire lick at me from below

No turning back, I just can't let go of the danger



I know you're gonna take me down

I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness

Oh, but I want you to

I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness

Oh, down to the darkness

Oh, but you know I want you to

Oh, yes I want you to

I want you to take me down to the darkness

Down, down, down to the darkness
