Darkness be my Zillow

I originally posted this back on 7-26-2006, but lost it. So thanks to Google, here it is again. With apologies to Jessie Colin Young:

Darkness, darkness, be my zillow,
Take my price, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your data,
In the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, has me yearning,
For a price that cannot be.
Keep me my mind from constant turning,
Toward the deals it cannot see,
Deals it cannot see,
Deals it cannot see.

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome,
Ease the day that brings the pain.
I have found the cliff of value,
I have known the depth of fear.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with endless night,
Take away the pain of knowing,
Fill my bankruptcy with light,
Bankruptcy with light,
Bankruptcy with light.

Darkness, darkness, be my zillow,
Take my deed, and let me sleep.
In the scorching of your desert,
In the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with endless night,
Take away the pain of knowing,
Pack my car, and travel light,
Pack and travel light,
pack and travel light.
