Lyrics

I'm packing up this broken suitcase, and I'm never coming back again
I can't believe I'm still here, don't know why I was here then
And I'll run across the valley, many miles from where I've got to get
And it's raining on the mountain, and the Autumn leaves are getting wet
Every time I stop and try to think I get a shiver in my bones
Every time I think of you I feel so all alone

Chorus:
And it's just as I feared
I think I will have another beer
My reflection in this glass is so clear
And twilight is here

I'm standing outside your window and I hear the sounds I used to hear
But I am outside, and he is with you, and I know what he whispers in your ear
It's not a temporary feeling, or one I'll learn to live with
I'll always have these jealous feelings all the way to my dying breath
It's kind of like the dream I had last night when I saw your act begin
In the parking lot by the old motel, you were with that man again

Chorus

There was a crescent moon above you, its point was aimed right at your neck
I've seen too many Hitchcock movies, so I knew what to expect
He started asking about your family, he really seemed to want to know
But what you clearly didn't realize is that he had no place to go
And when you said goodnight, you really thought he would leave you at the gate
But it wasn't that easy he came on strong & there was nothing his way

Chorus

Another early morning nightmare, another afternoon of rain
Another night of seeing double and riding blindly on this train
By the twelfth I'll be in Texas, but I'm only half way home
And my window is always open, but my heart for now is closed
I will miss you when I see the sunshine, but when it sets, I'll be OK
And I'll think of times when twilight was my favorite time of day

Chorus
