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 day

You pulled me like the moon pulls on the tide

You know just where I keep my better side

What days have come to keep us far apart

A broken promise or his broken heart

Now all the bonny birds wheeled away

I need you at the dimming of the day

Come the night you're only what I want

Come the night you could be my confidante

Aah aah aah ah

I see you on a street in company

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

I'm living for the night we steal away

I need you at the dimming of the day

Yes, I need you at the dimming of the day
