Not Dark Yet

[Verse 1] 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
