Not Dark Yet

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
 It's too hot to sleep time is running 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 getting 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 writing what was in her mind
 I just don't see why I should even care
 It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
 Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree
 I've followed the river and I got to the sea
 I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
 I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
 Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
 It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
 I was born here and I'll die here against my will
 I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
 Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
 I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
 Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
 It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
