Standard (EADGBE)
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.
Chorus
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
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
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
