|
Over by the wild wood |
|
Hot in summer night |
|
We lay in the tall grass' |
|
Til the early mornin' light |
|
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 send me no sweet salutation |
|
Or city silver near and far away |
|
Don't leave me all alone here in the twilight |
|
You know twilight is the loneliest time of day |
|
Well, I never gave it a second thought |
|
It never crossed my mind |
|
What's right, what's not |
|
I ain't the judgin' kind |
|
I can take the darkness |
|
Oh, storms flying in the skies |
|
But we all got certain trials |
|
Keep 'em burnin' up inside |
|
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel |
|
For memories roll dusty, old and gray |
|
Don't leave me alone in the twilight' |
|
Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day |
|
Don't leave me all alone here in the twilight' |
|
Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day |
|
Yes, it is |
