Not Dark Yet - Jimmy LaFave
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 room enough to even be anywhere
It's not dark yet but it's getting there
My sense of humanity has gone down the drain
And every beautiful thingis happen 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
But I don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet but it's getting there
I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree
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 so hard to 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 is so vacant and numb
I don't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
I don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet but it's getting there
