Lyrics

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
