Dimming of the Day

This old house is falling down round mice

I'm drowning in a river of my tears

When all my will is gone, you can hear me pray

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 bed aside

The days have come to keep us far apart

A broken promise for a broken heart

Now all the bonny birds, have flown away

I need you at the dimming of the day

Come tonight you're only what I want

Come tonight you can be my comfort doll

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 can steal away

I need you at the dimming of the day

I need you at the dimming of the day
