Twilight Songtext
von Amy Helm

Over by the wildwood, hot summer night
We lay in the tall grass ′til the morning light
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 send me no distant salutations
Silly souvenirs from far away
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 ain′t the judging kind
And I could take the darkness, oh, storms in the skies
But we all got certain trials burning up inside


Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
Memories turn dusty, old and grey
Don′t leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time of day

Over by the wildwoods, where young lovers go
Sparks flashing in the night, true colors show
You'll only hurt yourself
Don′t know what you're doing
Tryin′ to make it all on your own
Who do you think you're fooling?

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 of day
