Intro

   
    

Verse 1

Come on smoke, won't you rise and curl
To the top of the sill where the cool breeze spills?
Now that it's dusk, someone drive them off the street
Let the pavements cool, come on now 
So come on love, lay your body down next to mine
'Cause what we're longing for has withered in the light

Chorus 1

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
Baby, if you're workin' now out in Bakersfield
At some honky-tonk they call the Wagon Wheel

Chorus 2

You feel swept, and you feel rolled away
So come on darkness, I need you today 
Come on blackness, let me breathe you in
'Cause with this clattering and din, I am calling you  

Outro

Come on darkness
Come on darkness
