Dimming of the Day

Information: Sharon sings Dimming of the Day rather than Andrea. When asked why via Sharon's official forum she stated: "I sang Dimming of the Day because I've loved it forever. An old friend of mine played it to me many years ago with Bonnie Rait and Paul Brady and it has stuck with me always!"   Written By: Dimming of the Day was written by Richard Thompson. Richard was originally part of Fairport Convention, a British folk-rock group, although we do not know if he wrote the song while a member of the group or after leaving the group.

Lyrics: This old house is falling down around my ears I am drowning in a river of my tears When all my will is gone you hold me sway And 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 bonnie birds have wheeled away And 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 am living for the night we steal away And I need you at the dimming of the day Yes I need you at the dimming of the day
