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 that my soul has turned into steel

I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal

there is not even room enough to be anywhere

It's not dark yet

but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity

has bombed down the drain

Behind any beautiful thing

there has been some kind of pain

She wrote me a leeter

and she wrote it so kind

She put down in writting

what was in her mind

But I just don't see why

I should even care

No,it's not dark yet

but it's getting there

Well I've been to London

I've been the gay Paris

I've followed the river

and that guide to the sea

I've been dowm on the bottom

of a world full of lies

and I ain't looking for nothing

in nobody's eyes

Sometimes my burden

is more than I can bear

though 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 vacant and numb

I don't even know

what it is that

came here

to get away from

I just don't see why

I should even care

No,it's not dark yet

but it's getting here
