This old house is falling down around my ears 
 
G                 D               A 
I'm drowning in a river of my tears 
 
(intro) 
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

uuu uuu uuu 
 
 
(repete) 
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 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
