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 dayYou pulled me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better sideWhat days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or his broken heart Now all the bonny birds wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
