Dimming of the Day

[Verse 1]
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 can hear me pray
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]
The days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart?
Now all the bonny birds have flown away
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 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
