Not Dark Yet Lyrics

Cover art for Not Dark Yet lyrics by Bob Dylan

He was in a really bad motorcycle accident and it took a long time to heal. I think this fits with what its like to be in really bad pain. That leaves scars that the sun doesn't heal! I will bet riding his motorcycle was a beautiful thing still caused him great pain. I was born here will die here against my will -we have no control we play the hand we are dealt here possibly a near death experience. But pain pure and simple can make death an angel of grace. When it goes dark no more pain but its not dark yet but its getting there!

I realize that the cycle accident was long ago but broken vertebrae will never heal right especially for the limited help you could get for it back then. I figure its hurt his whole life never really healed I know this pain its bad and as you age its unbearable all over again...
