Eric Burdon - Darkness Darkness lyrics

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
