Twilight Songtext
von Alice Howe

I know a dirt road in the late afternoon
Where the shade and the sunlight gather in pools
There are trees to the right, twisted and wild
To my left is the sea like a glimmering eye

Well, I′m not the first one and I won't be the last
Who′s come to this crossroads and breezed on past
With my destination my only concern
One foot on the gas as the yellow light turns

And there's nothing like being alone at twilight
The ocean and I each approaching high tide
Held aloft on the waves of my pride
I'm better off walking alone at twilight

My lover is steady and he tells me be still
And take a deep breath, he′s hoping I will
But my mind keeps on racing ′til I'm far out of sight
At the end of the road on the threshold of night


And there′s nothing like being alone at twilight
The ocean and I each approaching high tide
Held aloft on the waves of my pride
I'm better off walking alone at twilight

Well, the sun′s gone down and the twilight has passed
And that magic hour, it never lasts
It's a long strand of pearls, one that I′ll never own
And the answers I seek are the smallest of stones

So I work 'til I'm tired, then I lay down to rest
And that takes just a bit of this weight off my chest
But the years stretch before me, I admit that it′s true
This restless pursuit is what I′m called to do

And there's nothing like being alone at twilight
The ocean and I each approaching high tide
Held aloft on the waves of my pride
I′m better off walking alone
Yeah, I hate to leave being alone at twilight
