Shadows are fallinī and Iīve been here all day
Itīs too hot to sleep and time is runninī away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
Iīve still got the scars that the sun didnīt heal
Thereīs not even room enough to be anywhere
Itīs not dark yet but itīs gettinī there.
Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing thereīs been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writinī what was in her mind
I just donīt see why I should even care
Itīs not dark yet but itīs gettinī there.
Well, Iīve been to London and I been to gay Paris
Iīve followed the river and I got to the sea
Iīve been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
I ainīt lookinī for nothinī in anyoneīs eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
Itīs not dark yet but itīs gettinī there.
I was born here and Iīll die here against my will
I know it looks like Iīm movinī but Iīm standinī still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I canīt even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Donīt even hear the murmur of a prayer
Itīs not dark yet but itīs gettinī there.
