Not Dark Yet - Roddy Hart/Gemma Hayes
Shadows are falling
I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep
And time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
Still got the scars
That the sun wouldn't heal
Not even room enough
To be anywhere
It's not dark yet
But it's getting there
Well my sense of humanity
Is going down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing
There's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter
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
Well I been to London
I been to gay Paris
I followed the river
And I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom
Of a whirlpool of lies
I ain't looking for nothing
In anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden
Is more than I can bear
It's not dark yet
But it's getting there
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
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 getting there
It's not dark yet
But it's getting there
It's not dark yet
But it's getting there
