THURSDAY NIGHT MUSIC: RICHARD THOMPSON "DIMMING OF THE DAY"


One of the best heartbreak songs, English folk version written by Thompson. My fav lines are highlighted.

This old house is falling down around my earsI'm drowning in a river of my tearsWhen all my will is gone you hold me swayI need you at the dimming of the day
 You pulled 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 apartA broken promise or a broken heartNow all the bonny birds have wheeled awayI need you at the dimming of the day
 Come the night you're only what I wantCome the night you could be my confidant
 I see you the street and in companyWhy don't you come and ease your mind with meI'm living for the night we steal awayI need you at the dimming of the dayI need you at the dimming of the day...
