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

Darkness, darkness, hide my yearnin'
For the things I cannot see
Keep my mind from constant turnin'
To the things I cannot be

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with this endless night
Take away, oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light
Emptiness with light now

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

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away, oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light now
Emptiness with light now, now
Mmm

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away, oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light now, oh, with light now

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

Oh, mmm
In the summer, baby
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, in the summer, baby
In the summer, baby
Ooh, ah, ooh, yeah
Oh, oh, come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby

Ooh, oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, oh, ooh
In the summertime, baby
In the summertime, baby
