Come on Darkness Lyrics

Come on slowly

Won't you rise and come

To the top of this hill

Where the cool breeze spills

Now that it's dusk

Someone drive them off the street

Let the pavements cool

Come on now

So come on love

And lay your body down, next to mine

'Cause what we're longing for has withered in the light

Come on darkness

Lay your body down on us

We've been calling you for so long now

We're weary of your name

Come on blackness

Let me breathe you in

'Cause with this clattering and din we are calling you 

Brother, have you got a smoke

Or baby, have you got a dime

Seems like we're all a little down on our luck

And baby if you're workin' now out in Bakersfield

At some honky-tonk they call the Wagon Wheel

I feel swept and you feel rolled away

So come on darkness, I need you today

Come on blackness, let me breathe you in

'Cause with this clattering and din I am calling you

Come on darkness

Come on darkness
