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
