This old house is fallin' down around my ears I'm drowning in the river of my tears When all my will is gone, 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 bad side For days have come to keep us far apart A broken promise or a broken heart Now all 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 and company Why don't you come and ease your mind with me? I'm living for the day we steal away I need you at the dimming of the day I need you at the dimming of the day
