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 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...
