Twilight (Live at French’s Camp, Piercy, CA, August 10, 1991)
[Verse 1]
Over in the night, hot summer night
We lay in the tall grass 'til the morning light
If I had my way, never urge to roam
A young man serves his country, and an old man guards the home
[Chorus]
Don't send me no distant salutations
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
I never gave a second look, never crossed my mind
What's right, what's not, I ain't the judging kind
I could stand the darkness, storms in the sky
But we all got certain trials burning up inside
[Chorus]
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
Because memories get dusty, old and gray
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
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 have the urge to roam
A young man serves his country, and an old man guards the home
[Chorus]
Don't send me no distant salutations
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 4]
Never gave a second thought, never crossed my mind
What's right, and what's not, I ain't the judging kind
I can take the darkness, storms in the sky
But we all got certain trials burning up inside
[Chorus]
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
Because memories get dusty, old and gray
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
[Outro]
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
