Mr. Twilight

Gyllene Tider · The Heartland Café [1984]

(Mr. Twilight, don't go away, oohh)



Twilight, so we meet again tonight

but Twilight, I am all alone this time

I'm comimg back to you, cause I need a place to hide

and you Mr. Twilight, it's just all right

Hey, Mr. Twilight!



Twilight, ain't it hard to realize

Hey Twilight, I tell you when I close my eyes

I see a face of a girl that I might

have lost in the twilight, tonight



Don't give me consolation, I just wanna be on my own

Got no use on persuation, I won't go home

No, Mr. Twilight, I won't go home



Hey Mr. Twilight, tell them Mr. Twilight



Twilight oh twilight, I've made up my mind and I'll stay

Oh, I see you are dying slowly, fading wave

Please Mr. Twilight, don't go away

Mr. Twilight
