Twilight (with Robbie Robertson) Lyrics

Over by the wildwood
Hot summer night
We lay in the tall grass
'Til the mornin' lightIf I had my way I'd never
Get the urge to roam
A young man serves his country
And an old man guards the homeNever gave a second thought
Never crossed my mind
What's right and what's not
I'm not the judgin' kindI could take the darkness oh
Storms in the skies
But we all got certain trials
Burnin' up insideDon'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 dayDon't put me in a frame upon the mantel
'Fore memories turn dusty old and grey
Don't leave me alone in the twilight

Twilight is the loneliest time a day
