Not Dark Yet (天还没黑) - Barb Jungr
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
It's not dark yet
But it's gettin' there
Well my sense of humanity
Is goin' 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
It's not dark yet
But it's gettin' there
And I've been to London
And I've been to gay Paris
I've followed the river
And I've got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom
Of a whirlpool of lies
I ain't lookin' for nothin'
In anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden
Is more than I can bear
It's not dark yet
But it's gettin' there
I was born here and I'll 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
It's not dark yet
But it's gettin' there
It's not dark yet
But it's gettin' there
Not dark yet
But it's gettin' there
