Not Dark Yet

Lyrics

Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all day
 It's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' away
 ♪
 Feel like my soul has turned into steel
 ♪
 I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
 ♪
 There's not even room enough to be anywhere
 It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there
 Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
 Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain
 She wrote me a letter, and she wrote it so kind
 ♪
 She put down in writin' what was in her mind
 ♪
 I just don't see why I should even care
 ♪
 It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there
 ♪
 Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris
 I've followed the river and I got to the sea
 I've been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
 I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes
 Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
 ♪
 It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there
 ♪
 I was born here, and I'll die here against my will
 I know it looks like I'm movin', but I'm standin' still
 Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
 I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
 ♪
 Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
 
 It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there
