Dimming of the Day
By Richard Thompson (from the album "Pour Down like Silver")
(Capo to whatever fret suits your vocal range)
Verse 1
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.
Bridge
Come the night you're only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant
Ah ah ah ah ah ant ah ah ant
Verse 2
I see you on the streets in company
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
Now all the morning birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Bridge 2
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side
i i i i i i ide
Verse 3
What days have come to keep us far apart?
A broken promise or a broken heart
I'm ready for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
I need you at the dimming of the day
