Twilight

Don't send me no distant salutations

Or silly souvenirs from far away

And don't leave me alone in the twilight

'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day



Over by the wildwood where young lovers go

Sparks flashing in the night, true colors show

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

But a young man serves his country and an old man guards the home



Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel

Before memories turn dusty old and gray

And don't leave me alone in the twilight

'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day



I could take the darkness, oh storms in the skies

But we all got certain trials burnin' up inside

You only hurt yourself you don't know what you're doing

Tryin? to make it all alone who you think you're fooling



Don't hand me nothing I can't hold

Or nothing that I can't give away

And don't leave me alone in the twilight

'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
