Not Dark Yet (Version 2)

[Verse 1]

Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all day

It's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' 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 gettin' there

[Verse 2]

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 writin' what was in hеr mind

But I don't see why I should even care

It's not dark yеt, but it's gettin' there

[Verse 3]

I've been to London and to gay Paris

I've followed the river and I got to the sea

Been down on the bottom of a world full of lies

And I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone’s eyes

Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear

It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

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 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 gettin' there
