Dimming Of The Day

DIMMING OF THE DAY- Bonnie Raitt

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.

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

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

Come the night you could be my confidant-----

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

NOTE: This is actually orignially a Richard Thompson song,

but the Bonnie Raitt version has changed the key and

reordered some of the words.

(from Longing in Their Hearts, 1994)
