Over by the wildwood, 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 I serve my country , sometimes I stay at home.
|
|
Just don't put me in a frame upon a mantel
|
Where memories grow dusty old and grey.
|
Don't leave me alone in the twilight.
|
Twilight is the loneliest time of day .
|
|
And I never gave it a second thought, it never crossed my mind.
|
To what is right or what is not. I'm not the judgin' kind.
|
But I would steel your darkness and the storms from your 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 of day.
|
|
And don't put me in a frame upon a mantel.
|
Where memories grow dusty old and grey.
|
Don't leave me alone in the twilight.
|
Twilight is the loneliest time a day.
