Twilight on the Trail
Twilight Serenity: Dean Martin's Ode to Simple Joys
Lyrics
When it's twilight on the trail and I jump along
During the evening on the trail, I leap along.
The world is like a dream and the ripple of the stream is my song
The world feels like a dream, and the sound of the flowing stream becomes my song.
When it's twilight on the trail and I rest once more
As twilight falls on the trail, I find rest once again.
My ceiling is the sky and the grass on which I lie is my floor
The sky above me is my ceiling, and the grass beneath me is my floor as I lie down.
Never ever have a nickel in my jeans
I never have a nickel in my pocket.
Never ever have a debt to pay
I never have debts to settle.
Still I understand what real contentment means
Despite the lack of material wealth, I understand the true meaning of contentment.
Guess, I was born, born that way
I believe I was born with this innate understanding.
When it's twilight on the trail and my voice is still
As twilight envelops the trail, my voice becomes silent.
Please plant this heart of mine
I ask that you bury my heart beneath a lonesome pine on the hill.
Underneath that lonesome pine on the hill
Never ever have a nickel in my jeans
I continue to lack financial resources.
Never ever have a debt to pay
I remain free from any debts to be repaid.
Still I understand what real contentment means
Yet, I comprehend the genuine essence of contentment.
Guess, I was born that way
It seems this understanding is an inherent part of my nature.
When it's twilight on the trail and my voice is still
As darkness falls on the trail, and my voice fades away.
Please, plant this heart of mine
I request that you plant my heart beneath a lonesome pine on the hill.
Underneath that lonesome pine on the hill
