1. Shadows are falling and I`ve been here all day.
It`s too hot to sleep time is running 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 getting there.
2. Well 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 writing 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.
3. Well I`ve been to London and I`ve been to gay Paris.
I`ve followed the river and I got to the sea.
I`ve been down on the bottom of a world full of lies.
I ain`t looking for nothing in anyone`s eyes.
Sometimes my burden seems more then I can bear.
It`s not dark yet, but it`s getting there.

5. 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.
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb.
I can`t even remember what it was I came here to get away from.
Don`t even hear a murmur of a prayer.
It`s not dark yet, but it`s getting there.
