Roy Orbison Darkness song lyrics

Darkness, only darkness

Land of shadow

That's where my heart goes

Now I'm alone, I'm on my own

Voices, I hear voices

Sounds in the still night everywhere

But you're not there

No, you're not there

Imagination brings you so near

I reach for your lips, but they're not here

All of my memories are closing in as one

I walk a little faster, than I start to run

Darkness, only darkness

Land of shadow

That's where my heart goes

Now I'm alone, I'm on my own

I long to hold you, thrill to your charm

But how can I hold shadows in my arms?

I reach to find you, stumbling through the night

Searching in my sadness, looking for the light

But there's darkness, only darkness

Land of shadow

That's where my heart goes

Now I'm alone, I'm on my own
