Dimming of the Day
This old house is falling down around my earsI am drowning in a river of my tearsWhen all my will is gone you hold me swayAnd I need you at the dimming of the day
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tideYou know just where I keep my better side
What days have come to keep us far apart?A broken promise or a broken heartNow all the bonnie birds have wheeled awayAnd I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night you're only what I wantCome the night you could be my confidant
I see you on the street in companyWhy don't you come and ease your mind with me?I am living for the night we steal awayAnd I need you at the dimming of the dayYes, I need you at the dimming of the day
