TITLE: The Dimming of the Day
Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 3]

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

/ C - G - / F C G - / 1st / F CG C - /

You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side

/ G - D - / G - D GC F - /

What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonnie birds have winged 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

... / C G C - /
