I need you at the dimming of the day
I see you the street and in company
You pulled me like the moon pulls on the tide
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me?
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away
A broken promise or a broken heart
And I need you at the dimming of the day
What days have come to keep us far apart
I'm living for the night we steal away
When all my will is gone, you hold me sway
You know just where I keep my better side
And I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night you could be my confidant
Come the night you're only what I want
