Not Dark Yet

Not Dark Yet - Shelby Lynne/Allison Moorer (埃裡森-摩爾)

Shadows are falling

And I been here all day

It's too hot to sleep

And time is running away

Feel like my soul has turned into steel

I've still got the scars that sun didn't let me heal

There's not even room enough to be anywhere

It's not dark yet

But it's getting there

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 whirlpool 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

Will 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

It's not dark yet

But it's getting there

But it's getting there

But it's getting there

Down to the bottom of a whirlpool 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

It's not dark yet

But it's getting there

But it's getting there

But it's getting there
