Shadows are fallin´
And I´ve been here all day
It´s too hot to sleep
And time is runnin´ away

I 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 to 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
