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
