Lyrics:

(originally by Bob Dylan)

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 let me 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 been to gay Paris
I've followed the river
And I got to the sea

I've been down to the bottom of the 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

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
