| 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 |
