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 pull 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 bonnie 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
