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 didn t heal
There s not even room enough to be anywhere
It s not dark yetbut 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 yetbut it s getting there
WellI ve been to London and I ve been to gay Paree
I ve followed the river and I got to the sea
I ve been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain t looking for nothing in anyone s eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It s not dark yetbut it s getting there
I was born here and I ll die here against my will
I know it looks like I m movingbut I m standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant 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
It s not dark yetbut it s getting there.
