Robyn Hitchcock - Not Dark Yet lyrics

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

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
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 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 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
