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 rest your mind with me

I'm living for the night we steal away

I need you at the dimming of the day

I need you at the dimming of the day...
