Dimming Of The Day

This old house is falling down around my ears
 I am 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've come to keep us far apart
 A broken promise or a broken heart
 Now, all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
 And I need you at the dimming of the day
 Come the night, you're only what I want
 And 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 am living for the night we steal away
 And I need you at the dimming of the day
 Yes, I need you at the dimming of the day
