Not Dark Yet
Shadows are falling and I been here all dayIt's too hot to sleep and time is running awayFeel like my soul has turned into steelI've still got the scars that the sun didn't let me heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhereIt's not dark yet, but it's getting thereWell my sense of humanity is going down the drainBehind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kindShe put down in writin' what was in her mindI just don't see why I should even careIt's not dark yet, but it's getting there
Well I been to London and I been to gay PareeI followed the river and I got to the seaI've been down to the bottom of a whirlpool of liesI ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bearIt's not dark yet, but it's getting there
I was born here and I'll die here, against my willI know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numbI can't even remember what it was I came here to get away fromDon't even hear the murmur of a prayerIt's not dark yet, but it's getting there
