Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's not dark yet but, yeah it's getting there
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain

I've followed the river and I got to the sea
Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It's not dark yet but it's getting there
It's not dark yet but it's getting there
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
I just don't see why I should even care
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
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 moving but I'm standing still
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
She put down in writing what was in her mind
