Darkness

Darkness, you are gentle when you kiss me
You lure me out like a dog before you whip me
Every night and morning we've been lovers.

Darkness, you are soft when you lie to me
I believe your sadness and your comfort
A sensitive liar to be my lover.

Darkness you are good to make me give up
To cast my hopes like stones into the sea.

You've bound my arms tightly
And told me to lie face down
Try not to breathe too deeply, hope for morning...

No one will find us sleeping
There's no light, no shadow here
Reach down and pull me up to the brightest heaven!

Darkness you are good to make me give up
To cast my hopes like stones into the sea.
