Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all day
|
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.
