Darkness, darkness
Monday, July 23 2012 @ 12:40 AM CDT
Still one of my favorite songs from the 60s. One of my favorite songs, period.
A few versions: Lisa Torban Ann Wilson (w/ Nancy) And the mighty original by the Youngbloods. 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 yearning For the things I cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Toward the things I cannot see now Things I cannot see now Things I cannot see Darkness, darkness, Long and lonesome, Ease the day that brings me pain. I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depth of fear. Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night, Take away, take away the pain of knowing, Fill the emptiness of right now, Emptiness of right now, now, now Emptiness of right now. Darkness, darkness, be my pillow, Take my hand, and let me sleep. In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence, the silence of your deep. Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night, Take away, take away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness of right now, Emptiness of right now now now Emptiness of right.... Oh yeah Oh yeah Emptiness, emptiness Oh yeah My music is much better than it sounds. |

Whoo! Yes, a great song. Thanks, Les.
