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 Where young lovers go Sparks flashig in the night Thrue colours 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 'Fore memories turn dusty old and grey Don't leave me alone in the twilight 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 dont know what you doing trying to make it all alone who you think you foolin dont hand me nothin i can hold or nothin that i can gave away dont leave me alone in the twilight cos twilight is a lonliest time a day
