Dimming of the Day Lyrics
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
You know just where I keep my better side
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night, you could be my confident
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
Oh I need you at the dimming of the day
Beautiful song, it brings tears to my eyes. "This old house is falling down around my ears" A feeling of absolute defeat as I'm sure we have all felt at one time or another, through heartbreak or sheer spiritual bankruptcy. I Dont know if it means a true partner, a true love, a confidante, or if it means Jesus/God. I do not know, but its very well written. And its piercing. Very moving. Thank you Mary
@Pastille No, I just remembered the later lyrics, its about a human love, somebody they long to be with, not Jesus/God a lot of Marys songs are holy so I do always wonder at first when I haven't heard it for a while & then it becomes clear again. Though it still could be? Down to personal interpretation I guess
