Dimming of the Day Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Pastille 

Cover art for Dimming of the Day lyrics by Mary Black

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
