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 day You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide You know just where I keep my better side What 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 day Come the night, you're only what I want And come the night, you could be my confidant I 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
