Not Dark Yet

Not Dark Yet

It's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' 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 gettin' 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 writin' what was in her mind


I just don't see why I should even care


It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.




Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris


I've followed the river and I got to the sea


I've been down on the bottom of the world full 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 gettin' 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 gettin' there.
