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 I serve my country sometimes I stay at home

Just don't put me in a frame upon a mantel

Where memories grow dusty old and grey

Don't leave me alone in the twilight

Twilight is the loneliest time of day

And I never gave it a second thought it never crossed my mind

To what is right or what is not I'm not the judgin' kind

But I would steel your darkness and the storms from your skies

We've all got certain trials burnin' up inside

Just 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

And don't put me in a frame upon a mantel

Where memories grow dusty old and grey

Don't leave me alone in the twilight

Twilight is the loneliest time a day
