G     C    G
Don't send me no distant salutations
G           Em                Am
or silly souvenirs from far away
D7
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
D7                 D               G
Twilight is the loneliest time a day
G    C           G
Over by the wildwood
         Em
Where young lovers go
Am
Sparks flashig in the night
D7
Thrue colours show
If I had my way I'd never
get the urge to roam
A young man serves his country
and an old man guards the home

G           C             G
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
           C  Em       Am
'Fore memories turn dusty old and grey
D7
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
            D            G
Twilight is the loneliest time a day

I could take the darkness oh
Storms in the skies
But we all got certain trials
burnin' up inside
you only hurt yourself
you dont know what you doing
trying to make it all alone
who you think you foolin
dont hand me nothin i can hold
or nothin that i can gave away
dont leave me alone in the twilight
cos twilight is a lonliest time a day
