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
