Twilight

Over by the wild wood it was a hot summer night

We lay in the tall grass, 'til the mornin' light come shining

If I had my way I'd never get the urge to roam

Sometimes to serve my country, sometimes I stay at home

Just don't put me in a frame upon the mantel

Where memories grow dusty old and gray

Don't leave me alone in the twilight

Twilight is the loneliest time of day

And I never gave it a second thought, I never crossed my mind

To what's right and what's not, I'm not the judgin' kind

But I would steal your darkness and storms from the skies

We've all got certain trials burnin' up inside

Just don't send me no distant salutations

Or silly souvenirs from far away

Don't leave me alone in the twilight

Twilight is the loneliest time a day

And don't put me in the frame upon the mantel

Where memories grow dusty old and gray

Don't leave me alone in the twilight

Twilight is the loneliest time a day
