The Dimming of the Day

This old house is falling down around my ears

I'm 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 pulled me like the moon pulls on the tide

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

A broken promise or a broken heart

Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away

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

Come the night, you could be my confidant
