CShadows are falling aFnd I been here all dCay
It's too hot to sleFep and time is running awCay
GFeel like my sDoul has tFurned into sCteel
aI've still got the scC/Gars that the sFun didn't heCal
GThere's not eDven room Fenough to be Canywhere
aIt's not C/Gdark yet, bFut it's getting tChere


Well my sense of humanity is going 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 getting there


Well I been to London and I been to gay Paree
I followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down to the bottom of a 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 getting 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 getting there
