Bucky Baxter - Not Dark Yet lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 heal There's not even room enough To be anywhere [Refrain] It's not dark yet, but it's gettin there [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] It's not dark yet, but it's gettin there [Verse 3] 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 lookin for nothin In anyone's eyes Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear [Refrain] It's not dark yet, but it's gettin there [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 4] I was born here, and I'll die here; Against my will I know it looks like I'm moving But I'm standin 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 [Refrain] It's not dark yet, but it's gettin there
