Lyrics

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
