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. You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide You know just where I keep my better side What days have come to keep us far apart? A broken promise or a broken heart Now all the morning birds have wheeled away I need you at the dimming of the day CHORUS 2: Come the night you're only what I want Come the night you could be my confidant----- I see you on the street and 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 NOTE: This is actually orignially a Richard Thompson song, but the Bonnie Raitt version has changed the key and reordered some of the words.
