Ethan Johns - Dimming of the Day lyrics

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
