Richard Thompson dimming of the daydargai

Select language to translate this lyric

This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in the river of my tears
When all my will is gone, you hold me swaying
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tides
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 bonny birds have winged 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
