Paragraph Lyric
Dear darkness, dear darkness
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 though 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
Dear darkness, dear darkness   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 though 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
