Darkness, darkness long and lonesome
In the summer time baby
In the silence of your deep
Emptiness with light now, now
I have the known the depths of fear
Darkness, darkness be my blanket
In the coolness of your shadow
Cover me with the endless night
I have found the edge of sadness
For the things I cannot see
Fill this emptiness with light now
As the day that brings me here
Cover me with the endless night
To the things I cannot be
Darkness, darkness be my blanket
Take away, oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light
In the coolness of your shadow
In the summer baby
Darkness, darkness hide my yearning
Come on, come on, come on baby
Darkness, darkness be my pillow
Cover me with this endless night
In the, oh, oh, hey, yeah, oh, yeah
Fill this emptiness with light now
Take away oh, this pain of knowing
Oh yeah, oh, in the summer baby
Come, on come on, come on, come on baby
Keep my mind from constant turning
In the silence of your deep
Oh, with light now
Darkness, darkness be my blanket
In the summer baby
Take away, oh, this pain of knowing
Ooh yeah
Emptiness with light now
Come on, come on, come on baby
Take my hand and let me sleep
In the silence of your deep
