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
