This old house is falling down around my ears

I'm drowning in the river of my tears

When all my will is gone, you hold me ?swayed?

I need you at the dimming of the day



You pour me like the moon pours on the tide

You know just where I keep my ?badder 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 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

I need you at the dimming of the day
