Twilight

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
Over by the wildwood
Young lovers go
Sparks flashing in the night
True colors show
If I had my way I’d never
Get the urge to roam
A young man serves his country
And an old man guards the home
Don’t put me in a frame upon the mantel
Memories turn dusty old and grey
Don’t leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day
I could face the darkness, oh
Storms in the skies
But we all got certain trials
Burnin' up inside
You’ll only hurt yourself
Don’t know what to do
Tryin' to make it on your own
Who you think you’re foolin'?
Don’t hand me nothing I can’t hold
Nothing that I can’t give away
Don’t leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day
