DIMMING OF THE DAY Songtext

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 east 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...
