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 (Uh-uh-uh) (uh-uh-uh) (uh-uh-uh-uh) 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 confidante (Uh-uh-uh) (uh-uh-uh) (uh-uh-uh-uh) I see You in the street in company Why don't You come and ease You 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.
