Dear darkness
Dear darkenss
Won't you cover, cover me again?
Dear darkness, dear
I've been your friend for many years.
Won't you do this for me, Dearest Darkness
And cover me from the sun
And the words tightening
The words are tightening
Around my throat and, and
Around the throat of the one I love
Tightening, tightening, tightening
Around the throat of the one I love
Tightening, tightening, tightening
Dear Darkness
Dear Darkness
Now it's your time to look after us
Cause we kept your clothes, we kept your business
When everyone else was having good luck
So now it's your time, time to pay
To pay me and the one I love
With the worldly goods you stashed away
With all the things you took from us.
