Dimming of the Day

[Verse 1]

This old house is falling down around my ears

I am drowning in a river of my tears

When all my will is gone you hold me sway

And I need you at the dimming of the day

[Bridge]

You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide

You know just where I keep my better side

[Verse 2]

What days have come to keep us far apart

A broken promise or a broken heart?

Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away

And I need you at the dimming of the day

[Bridge]

Come the night, you're only what I want

Come the night, you could be my confidant

[Verse 3]

I see you on the street and in company

Why don't you come and ease your mind with me?

I am living for the night we steal away

And I need you at the dimming of the day

Yes I need you at the dimming of the day
