dimming of the day

this old house is falling down round mice, i'm drowning in a river of my tears, when all my will is gone, you can hear me pray, 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 bed aside, the days have come to keep us far apart, a broken promise for a broken heart, now all the bonny birds, have flown away, i need you at the dimming of the day, come tonight you're only what i want, come tonight you can be my comfort doll, 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 can steal away, i need you at the dimming of the day, i need you at the dimming of the day
