Dimming of the Day

This old house is falling down round mice

I'm drowning in a river of my tears

When all my will is gone, you can hear me pray

I need you at the dimming of the day

You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide

You know just where I keep my bed asideThe days have come to keep us far apart

A broken promise for a broken heart

Now all the bonny birds, have flown away

I need you at the dimming of the day

Come tonight you're only what I want

Come tonight you can be my comfort dollI see you on the street in company

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

I'm living for the night, we can steal away

I need you at the dimming of the day

I need you at the dimming of the day
