Dimming of the Day Lyrics by David Gilmour

0

[Intro]
Well, this one's got nothing whatsoever to do with me. But I like it. It's by Richard Thompson. It's called "The Dimming of the Day."
[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Come the night, you're only what I want
Come the night, you could be my confidant
[Verse 3]
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
