Lyrics Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis

Twilight

Over by the wild wood

Hot in summer night

We lay in the tall grass

'Til the early mornin' light

If I had my way

I'd never get the urge to roam

But a young man serves his country

And an old man guards the home

Don't send me no sweet salutation

Or city silver near and far away

Don't leave me all alone here in the twilight

You know twilight is the loneliest time of day

Well, I never gave it a second thought

It never crossed my mind

What's right, what's not

I ain't the judgin' kind

I can take the darkness

Oh, storms flying in the skies

But we all got certain trials

Keep 'em burnin' up inside

Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel

For memories roll dusty, old and gray

Don't leave me alone in the twilight

'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day

Don't leave me all alone here in the twilight

'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day

Yes, it is
