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
