Lyrics

0:29Shadows are falling and I been here all day
0:38Its too hot to sleep and time is running away
0:48Feel like my soul has turned into steel
0:57I've still got the scars that the sun/son didnt/let me heal
1:07Theres not even room enough to be anywhere
1:17Its not dark yet but its getting there
1:29Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain
1:39Behind every beautiful thing theres been some kind of pain
1:48She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
1:58She put down in writin what was in her mind
2:08I just don't see why I should even care
2:17Its not dark yet but its getting there
2:30Well I been to london and I been to gay paris
2:41I followed the river and I got to the sea
2:49I've been down to the bottom of a whirlpool of lies
2:59I ain't lookin for nothin in anyones eyes
3:09Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
3:18Its not dark yet but its getting there
4:27I was born here and Ill die here against my will
4:36I know it looks like I'm movin but I'm standin still
4:46Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
4:54I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
5:05Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
5:14Its not dark yet but its getting there
Shadows are falling and I been here all day
Its too hot to sleep and time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun/son  didnt/let me  heal
Theres not even room enough to be anywhere
Its not dark yet  but its getting there
Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing  theres 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
Its not dark yet  but its getting there
Well I been to london and I been to gay paris
I followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down to the bottom of a whirlpool of lies
I ain't lookin for nothin in anyones eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
Its not dark yet  but its getting there
I was born here and Ill 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
Its not dark yet  but its getting there
