This old house is falling down around my ears. I’m drowning in the 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 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
