dimming of the day
©1975
what a simple but wonderful song. i first heard it on the hokey pokey album "the world is a wonderful place" and wanted to record it ever since. there are many different versions on many different albums. i have merely added to that number.
the
bee's knees - official richard thompson site and much, much more
This
old house
is falling down around my ears
I'm
drowning
in the river of my tears
When
all
my will is gone you hold me sway
I need
you
at the dimming of the day
You
pulled
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
bonny 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
