Call me a clueless rube, if you will, but it 's difficult to appreciate the depth, soul and intelligence of Bob Dylan's lyrics and music with that horrendously painful voice.

Much as I like Bob Dylan, his voice does remind me of a 1970 Honda Dream 79cc motorcycle exhaust.

Boy, I wonder if Afie Jurvanen listened to this a lot before he wrote "Lost In The Light."

I'm not normally a Bob fan but once or twice every decade he comes up with a pearler. Not quite convinced about the "Gay Paree" line though.

I love-love-love his poetry; just wish other people would sing them as I am not a fan of his voice.  Though he does do well in getting the impression of this words thru.

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 Paree
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 seems 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.

Too many knee-jerk 8+ votes I think because it is Dylan, but overall it is not too bad. I'm upping my vote since it is over 6min long and doesn't feel like his typical 20min "I'm such a poet" lullaby.

Robyn Hitchcock released a whole CD of Dylan covers a few years ago, including this song.  It struck me as a pretty terrible idea.  I think it's out of print so others must have felt the same way.

I love the original and have no desire to hear anyone cover it.

I've always appreciated Dylans songwriting genius but had a hard time appreciating his voice. This one has me appreciating both.

I have never heard this before but I have to say that this is one of the best songs I've ever heard him sing.
I get sick of people trashing his voice all the time. Get over it.
