Not Dark Yet

Not Dark Yet - Goldman

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

There's not even room

Enough to be anywhere

It's not dark yet

But it's gettin' there

Well my sense of humanity

Is goin' down the drain

Behind every beautiful thing

There's been some kind of pain

he wrote me a letter

And he wrote it so kind

he put down in writin'

What was in his mind

I just don't see

Why I should even care

It's not dark yet

But it's gettin' there

And I've been to London

And I've been to gay Paris

I've followed the river

And I've got to the sea

I've been down on the bottom

Of a whirlpool of lies

I ain't lookin' for nothin'

In anyone's eyes

Sometimes my burden

seems 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

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 gettin' there

It's not dark yet

But it's gettin' there
