Rick Danko Twilight lyrics

Over by the wild wood
Hot in the summer night
We lay in the tall grass
'Til the early mornin' light

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 send me no sweet salutation
Or city silver near and far away
Don't leave me all alone here in the twilight
You know twilight is the loneliest time of day

Well, I never gave it a second thought
It never crossed my mind

What's right, what's not
I aint' the judgin' kind

I can take the darkness
Oh, storms flyingi n the skies
But we all got certain trials
Keep 'em burnin' up inside

Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
For memories roll dusty, old and gray
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twiilght is the loneliest time of day

Yes, it is
