The Dimming Of Day

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 dayYou pulled me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better sideWhat 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 dayCome the night, you're only what I want
Come the night, you could be my confidant
