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 a broken heart
Now all the bonny birds have 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 confidant ♪ I see you the street and 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 Yes, I need you at the dimming of the day
