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 me heal There’s not even room enough, to be anywhere [Refrain] It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there [Verse 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 [Refrain] It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there [Verse 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 to the bottom of a world full of lies I ain’t lookin for nothing, in anyone’s eyes Sometimes my burden, is more than I can bear [Refrain] It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there [Verse 4] 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 naked 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 [Outro] 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
