Not Dark Yet

Shadows are falling, and I’ve been here all day

It’s too hot to sleep, and 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

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

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

It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there

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

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
