The Band - Twilight (Early Alternate Version) lyrics

Don't send me no distant salutations Or silly souvenirs from far away And don't leave me alone in the twilight 'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day Over by the wildwood where young lovers go Sparks flashing in the night, true colors show 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 put me in a frame upon the mantel Before memories turn dusty old and gray And don't leave me alone in the twilight 'Cause 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 don't know what you're doing Tryin' to make it all alone who you think you're fooling Don't hand me nothing I can't hold Or nothing that I can't give away And don't leave me alone in the twilight 'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
