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 pull 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 bonnie 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 on the street 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
i need you at the dimming of the day
