[Verse 1]
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 day
Oh, I need you, the dimming of the day

[Bridge]
You call me like the moon calls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side

[Verse 2]
Now days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
And all the bonny birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Oh, I need you, the dimming of the day

[Bridge]
Come the night, you're always what I want
Come the night, you could be my confidant

[Verse 3]
I see you on the street in company
Why don't you easе your mind with me?
I'm longing for the night we stеal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Oh, I need you, the dimming of the day
