Twilight - Shawn Colvin

Over by the wildwood, hot summer night

We lay in the tall grass, til the mornin' light come shining

If I had my way I’d never get the urge to roam

Sometimes to serve my country, Sometimes I stay at home

Just don’t put me in the frame upon the mantel

Where memories turn dusty old and grey

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’m not the judgin' kind

I could take the darkness and the storms from the skies

But we all got certain trials burnin' up inside

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

Don’t put me in the frame upon the mantel

Where memories turn dusty old and grey

Don’t leave me alone in the twilight

Twilight is the loneliest time a day
