capo 1 — sounds a semitone higherIntro
Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
You pulled 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
Chorus 2
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 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
Yes, I need you at the dimming of the day
NOTE: This is actually originally 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)
