Twilight

Over by the wildwood

Hot summer night

We lay in the tall grass

Till the mornin' light

If I had my way I'd never

Get the urge to roam

But a young man serves his country

An old man guards the home

Don't send me no distant salutations

Or silly souvenirs from far away

Don't leave me alone in the twilight

'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day

I never gave it a second thought

It never crossed my mind

What's right and what's not

I ain't the judgin' kind

And I can take the darkness, oh

Storms in the skies

But we all got certain trials

Burnin' up inside

Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel

'Fore memories turn dusty old and gray

Don't leave me alone in the twilight

'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day

Over by the wildwoods

Where young lovers go

Sparks flashing in the night

True colors show

You'll only hurt yourself

Don't know what you're doin'

Tryna make it on your own

Who do you think you're foolin?

Don't hand me nothin' I can't hold

Nothin' I can't give away

Don't leave me alone in the twilight

'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
