Dimming of the Day

3. Dimming of the Day – Richard Thompson – 4:49

This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in a river of my own 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

When days have come to tear our souls apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
When all the bonny 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 confidant

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
