Not Dark Yet              
             
Shadows are falling and I 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/son? didn't/let me? 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 is going 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 her mind 
I just don't see why I should even care 
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there 

Well I been to London and I been to gay Paris 
I followed the river and I got to the sea 
I've been down to the bottom of a whirlpool of lies 
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 getting there 

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 naked and numb 
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from 
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer 
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
