This old house is fallin' down around my ears
I'm drownin' in the river of my tears
When all my will is gone, you hold me sway
And I need you at the dimmin' of the day
You pull 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 a broken heart
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away
And I need you at the dimmin' of the day
♪
Come the night, you're only what I want
Come the night, you can be my confidant
♪
I see you on the street and in company (in company)
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me?
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Ooh, I need you at the dimming of the day
Why don't you ease your mind with me?
(Why don't you ease your mind with me?)
I need you at the dimming of the day
All the bonny birds are wheelin' away
Wheelin' away (wheelin' away)
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me?
Oh, why don't we steal away?
Like the moon pulls at the tide
Yeah, you are my better side
Wheelin' away, stealin' away to the other side
Why don't you come and ease my weary mind?
