Darkness Darkness Lyrics by Eric Burdon

Darkness Darkness

0

Darkness, darkness be my pillow
Take me in and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep

Darkness, darkness hide me yearnin'
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turnin'
Towards the things I cannot see
Things I cannot see
Things I cannot see

Darkness, darkness long and lonesome
Is the day that brings me everything
I have felt the edge of sorrow
I have known the depths of fear

Darkness, darkness be my blanket
Cover me with your endless night
Take away, take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness with bright
Emptiness with bright
Emptiness with bright

Darkness, darkness be my blanket
Take me in and cover me
Take away, take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness with bright
Emptiness with bright
Emptiness with bright

Emptiness, loneliness
Emptiness, loneliness
Take away
Emptiness, loneliness
My pain
Emptiness, loneliness
My soul
Emptiness, loneliness
My pain, pain
Emptiness, loneliness
Take away
Emptiness, loneliness
My pain, my pain
Emptiness, loneliness
My sorrow
Emptiness, loneliness
My pain, my pain
Emptiness, loneliness
My pain, my sorrow
Emptiness, loneliness
And in sorrow
Emptiness, loneliness
And in sorrow
Emptiness, loneliness
My heart will be
Emptiness, loneliness
My pain, my sorrow
Emptiness, loneliness
My pain, my pain and my sorrow
