Weight Lyrics - Rick Danko

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
