not dark yet

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 did't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet,
but it's getting there

Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind eevry 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.

Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris
I've followed the river and i got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than i can bear
It's not dark yet but it's getting there.

I was born here and I will die here against my will
I know it looks like i'm moving byt i'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can't even remember what it was i camer her to get away from
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet but it's getting there.
