Lyrics
F bb f
Over by the wildwood
Dm
Hot summer night
Gm
We lay in the tall grass
C
Til the mornin' light
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
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 oh
Storms in 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
Over by the wildwood
Where young lovers go
Sparks flashing in the night
True colors show
You only hurt yourself
Don't know what you're doing
Tryin' to make it all alone
Who ya think you're fooling
Don't hand me nothing I can't hold
Or nothing that I can't give away
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time of day
F bb f
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
F bb c gm
'Fore memories turn dusty old and grey
C c7
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Bb-c f
Twilight is the loneliest time a day
Bb c gm dm
Bb c gm f
