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 to serve my country , Sometimes I stay at home.
Just don`t put me in the frame upon the mantel
Where memories turn dusty old and grey.
Don`t leave me alone in the twilight.
Twilight is the loneliest time of day .
Never gave a second thought, never crossed my mind.
What`s right and what`s not. I`m not the judgin` kind.
I could take the darkness and the storms from the skies.
But we all got certain trials burnin` up inside.
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 a day.
Don`t put me in the frame upon the mantel.
Where memories turn dusty old and grey.
Don`t leave me alone in the twilight.
Twilight is the loneliest time a day.
