Not Dark Yet

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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 on the bottom of a world full of lies.

I ain`t looking for nothing in anyone`s eyes.

Sometimes my burden seems more then I can bear.

It`s not dark yet, but it`s getting there.

5. 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.
