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 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 writin´ what was in her mind

I just don´t see why I should even care
It´s not dark yet, but it´s gettin´ there

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 lookin´ for nothin´ in anyone’s eyes

Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It´s not dark yet, but it´s gettin´ there

[Instrumental Break 03:23-04:27]

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 vacant and numb
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from

[Refrain]
Don´t even hear a murmur of a prayer
It´s not dark yet, but it´s gettin´ there

[Instrumental Outro]
