Dimming of the Day

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

I need you at the dimming of the dayYou pull me like the moon pulls on the tide

You know just where I keep my better sideWhat days've come to keep us far apart

A broken promise or a broken heart

Now, all the bonnie birds have wheeled away

And I need you at the dimming of the dayCome the night, you're only what I want

And come the night, you could be my confidantI see you on the street 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
