A cover of a song by Jesse Colin Young performed originally by The Youngbloods circa 1969
Story behind the song
Terror from war
Lyrics
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 Be my pillow
Darkness, DarknessHide 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 nowThings 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 ri-ight now
