Cowboy Junkies Darkness, Darkness Lyrics

Darkness, Darkness Lyrics

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 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 this endless night

Take away, oh, this pain of knowing

Fill this emptiness with light

Emptiness with light now



Darkness, darkness long and lonesome

As the day that brings me here

I have found the edge of sadness

I have the known the depths of fear



Darkness, darkness be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away, oh, this pain of knowing

Fill this emptiness with light now

Emptiness with light now, now



Darkness, darkness be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away oh, this pain of knowing

Fill this emptiness with light now

Oh, with light now



Darkness, darkness be my pillow

Take my hand and let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow

In the silence of your deep

In the silence of your deep

In the, oh, oh, hey, yeah, oh, yeah



In the summer baby

Oh yeah, oh, in the summer baby

In the summer baby

Ooh yeah

Come, on come on, come on, come on baby

Come on, come on, come on baby

Come on, come on, come on baby

In the summer time baby

In the summer time
