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
what  days  have  come  to  keep  us  far  apart
a  broken  promise  or  a  broken  heart
now  all  the  bonnie  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  confident
i  see  you  on  the  street  in  company
why  don't  you  come  and  ease  your  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
