Darkness Darkness Lyrics - Mott The Hoople

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow 

Take my hand let me sleep 

In the coolness of your shadow 

In the silence of your deep 

Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning 

For the things that cannot be 

Keep my mind from constant turning 

Toward the things that cannot see, no, no 

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome 

Is the day that brings my happiness 

I have found the edge of silence 

Oh, I am in depths of fear 

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket 

Cover me with the endless night 

Take away, take away the pain of your way 

Fill the emptiness with light, na na na na na 

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 that cannot be 

Keep my mind, keep my mind from constant turning 

Toward the things that cannot see, no, no, oh
