Not Dark Yet (Version 2)

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

It's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there

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

But I don't see why I really should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there

I've been to London and I been to gay Paris
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
Been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
And 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
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
