Intro
Verse 1
Shadows are falling
and I been here all da
y
It's too hot to slee
p and time is running aw
ay
Feel like my
soul has
turned into
steel
I've still got the
scars that the
sun didn't he
al
There's not even
room enough to
be anywh
ere
It's not dark
yet,
but it's getting
there
Verse 2
Well my sense of humanit
y is going down the dr
ain
Behind every beautiful thin
g, there's been some kind of
pain
She wrote me a l
etter and she
wrote it so k
ind
She put down in
writin' what
was in her mi
nd
I just don't see
why I should
even c
are
It's not dark
yet,
but it's getting
there
Verse 3
Well I been to Londo
n and I been to gay P
aris
I followed the river
and I got to the s
ea
I've been down to the
bottom of a
world full of
lies
I ain't lookin for
nothin' in
anyone's e
yes
Sometimes my
burden is
more than I can
bear
It's not dark
yet, b
ut it's getting th
ere
Verse 4
I was born here and I'll die h
ere, against my w
ill*)
I know it looks like I'm movi
n' but I'm standin' s
till
Every nerve in my
body is so
vacant and
numb
I can't even remember
what it was I came
here to get away f
rom
Don't even
hear the m
urmur of a
prayer
It's not dark
yet, b
ut it's getting
there
