Thread Name: poem or essay on Darkness
Subject: Lyr Add: DARKNESS, DARKNESS (Jesse Colin Young)
Here you go: "Darkness, Darkness":
(As a bonus, I'm also pasting in the next song listed on the lyrics page I found, interesting because the title/topic is the exact opposite -- "Sunlight")
Darkness, darkness Jesse Colin Young
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, has me yearning, For things that cannot be. Keep me my mind from constant turning, Toward the things it cannot see, Things it cannot see, Things it cannot see.
Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome, As the day brings the pain. I have found the edge of stillness, I live in the depth of fear. Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with endless night, Take away the pain that flows away, Fill the emptiness with bright, Emptiness with bright, Emptiness with bright.
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 blanket, Cover me with endless night, Take away the pain that flows away, Fill the emptiness with bright, Emptiness with bright, Emptiness with bright.
Sunlight Jesse Colin Young
Have you seen the sunlight pouring through her hair And felt her warm mouth on ya in the summer's air Running in a field of brown, laughing, rolling on the ground now Smiling as she pulls you down That's the way she feels about you That's the way she feels about you
If your dreams should wake you shaking in the night She can touch your face and take away all fright Like a tree in a meadow wind she will bend to take you in Makes no difference where you been That's the way she feels about you That's the way she feels about you--yeah
If you wake up screaming, scared about what you're dreaming You know she is there, she can share You're aware she cares about you
In the morning wake up laughing with the day She will smile and ask you with her eyes to stay Like the sunshine warms the sand She will touch you with her hand now Touching makes you understand That's the way she feels about you That's the way she feels about you
La la la la la la La la la la la la
If you wake up screaming, scared about what you're dreaming You know she is there, she can share You're aware she cares about you
In the morning wake up laughing with the day She will smile and ask you with her eyes to stay Like the sunshine warms the sand She will touch you with her hand now Touching makes you understand Oh that's the way she feels about you That's the way she feels about you--yeah That's the way she feels about you That's the way she feels about you
