I'm drowning in the river of my tears
When all my will is gone, you hold me ?swayed?
I need you at the dimming of the day

You pour me like the moon pours on the tide
You know just where I keep my ?badder side?

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

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
