Twilight Lyrics - Cover Girl - Shawn Colvin

Over by the wild wood it was a 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 to serve my country, sometimes I stay at home 

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

Where memories grow dusty old and gray 

Don't leave me alone in the twilight 

Twilight is the loneliest time of day 

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

To what's right and what's not, I'm not the judgin' kind 

But I would steal your darkness and storms from the 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 a day
