Intro

Verse 1

  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 drives 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

Chorus

  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

Verse 2

  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

Chorus

  I feel swept, and you feel rolled away

  So come on darkness, I need you today

  So come on blackness, let me breathe you in

  'Cause with this clattering and din, I am calling you

FINALE:

  Come on darkness

  Come on darkness
