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 of day Over by the wild wood young lovers go Sparks flashing in the night, true colors show If I had my way I'd never get the urge to roam A young man serves the country, And an old man guards the home Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel For memories turns dusty, old and gray Don't leave me alone in the twilight Because twilight is the loneliest time of day Oh Oh Oh I can face the darkness or storms in the sky But we all got certain trials burning up inside You only hurt yourself, don't know what you are doing Try to make it on your own, who you think you are foolin' Don't hand me nothing I can't hold Nothing that I can't give away Don't leave me alone in the twilight Because twilight is the loneliest time of day Oh Oh Oh
