Come On Darkness Lyrics - Key Lime Pie - Camper Van Beethoven

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
