The Blind Boys Of Alabama - Beat the Retreat: Songs By Richard Thompson

Dimming Of The Day

This old house is falling down around my ears (ah!)
Oh, I'm drowning in the river of my tears (mm)
But all my will is gone, you hear me praying (ah!)
I need you at the dimming of the day (ooh)

You pull 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? (Ooh)
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away (ah!)
I need you at the dimming of the day (ooh)

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 (ah!)
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me? (Mm)
I'm living for the night we steal away (ah!)
I need you at the dimming of the day (mm)

I need you at the dimming of the day (oh)
Oh!
