Not Dark Yet

Shadows are falling, and I've been here all day It's too hot to sleep, and time is running away I feel like my soul has turned into steel I've still got the scars, that the sun didn't let meheal 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 goin' 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 And it's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well, I've been to London, and I've 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 Ain't lookin' for nothing, in anyone's eyes Sometimes my burden, is more than I can bear And it's not dark yet, but it's getting there I was born here, and I'll die here, against my will Know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still Every nerve in my body, is so naked and numb Can't remember what it was, I came here to get away from I don't even hear a murmur of a prayer And it's not dark yet, but it's getting there Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear And it's not dark yet, but it's getting there
