“Dimming Of The Day”
(originally by Richard & Linda Thompson)
Oh, I’m drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you can hear me pray
Oh, I need you at the dimming of the day
The days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart?
Now all the bonny birds have gone away
Oh, I need you at the dimming of the day
Oh, 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
Come the night, you’re only what I want
(Come the night, come the night)
Come the night, you could be my confidant
Oh, 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
At the dimming of the day
Oh, I need you at the dimming of the day (Yeah)
