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
A7sus2
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
