TWILIGHT (Alternate/Early Version) – Northern Lights–Southern Cross
By the Band
[Chorus]
A D A
Don't send me no distant salutations
A D Bm
Or silly souvenirs from far away
E E7
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
E A
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day
[Verse 1]
A D F#m
Over by the wildwood – where young lovers go
Bm E
Sparks flashing in the night, true colors show
A D F#m
If I had my way I'd never get the urge to roam
Bm E
But a young man serves his country and an old man guards the home
[Chorus]
A D A
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
A D Bm
For memories turn dusty old and gray
E E7
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
E A
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day
[Verse 2]
A D F#m
I could take the darkness, oh storms in the skies
Bm E
But we all got certain trials burnin' up inside
A D F#m
You only hurt yourself you don't know what you're doing
Bm E7
Tryin' to make it all alone who you think you're fooling
[Chorus]
A D A
Don't hand me nothing I can't hold
A D Bm
Or nothing that I can't give away
E E7
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
E A
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
