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.
