Intro :
This old house is falling down around my ears
I am drowing in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
And 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
And 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 compagny
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
I am leaving for the night we steal away
And I need you at the dimming of the day
Yes I need you at the dimming of the day
