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[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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

Thanks Egil. Ilove the live versions of the songs from Time Out Of Mind more so than the original album. I never really got the Daniel Lanois production. I think I should make a live version of the album for myself.. BTW There’s no sound on the Pepsi Arena version above….
Gee I am first time stumped by which of Bob’s video shows is the best . So due to quality of video ( static ) here and there on Illinois venue I’d say Stirling Castle , Scotland is winner of best performance and video quality of the five ” Not Dark Yet ” Bob Dylan sang !!
His atypical voice which exudes passion , strong voice , & poetry !
