Not Dark Yet

Shadows are falling and I been here all day
 It's too hot to sleep and time is running away
 Feel like my soul has turned into steel
 I've still got the scars that the Sun didn't let me 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 is going 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 getting there
 Well I been to London and I been to gay Paree
 I followed the river and I got to the sea
 I've been down to the bottom of a whirlpool 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 getting there
 Well 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 getting there
 It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
 Yes it's getting there
 Yes it's getting there
