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 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 better side the days have come to keep us far apart a broken promise or a broken heart now all the bonny birds have flown 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 can steal away i need you at the dimming of the day i need you at the dimming of the day
