Over by the Wildwood, hot summer night
We lay in the tall grass, till the morning light comes shining
If I had my way, I'd never get the urge to roam
A young man serves his country, and an old man stays at home
Don't put me in a frame of a palomanto
Memories grow dusty, old and gray
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time of day
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh
Never give a second thought, no, never cross my mind.
What's right and what's not, I'm not the judge in kind.
I can take your darkness, oh, storms from your sky.
We've all got certain trials burning up inside.
Don't send me no distant salutation.
Or silly souvenirs from far away.
Don't leave me alone in the twilight.
Twilight is the loneliest time of day.
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel.
Where memories grow tusty, old and gray.
Don't leave me alone in the twilight.
Twilight is the loneliest time of day.
No, no, no.
Don't leave me alone in the twilight.
Twilight.
Twilight is the loneliest time of day.
