Not Dark Yet

Shadows are fallin'

And I've been here all day

It's too hot to sleep

And time is runnin' away

I 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'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 to the bottom of a world full of lies

I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes

Sometimes my burden is 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 movin'

But I'm standin' still

Every nerve in my body 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
