This old house is falling down around my ears
Im drowning in the river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I 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 apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night youre only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant
I see you on the street in company
Why dont you come and ease your mind with me
Im 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
"Dimming of the Day" is a song written by Richard Thompson and performed with his then-wife Linda Thompson on the 1975 album Pour Down Like Silver. Beautiful rendition by David Guimour.
Not a big fan of gospel choir backgrounds, but other than that, I like this version a lot.
did I listen to the same song everyone else did ?
am I in an alternate universe ?
1 it is .
utter rubbish.
Old dogs and new tricks for me..
The sort of song that, when you hear it,
you have to
you are compelled to
just sit and do nothing
but let it wash over you.
Easy 10.
Sigh.

"Dimming of the Day" is a song written by Richard Thompson and covered by the Irish band The Corrs for their Irish-themed fifth studio album Home. It is the only song on the album where the lead vocal is performed by Sharon Corr. (in Wikipedia)
Her's is a very fine version. Didn't Richard's ex-wife Linda sing this, too?
Check out this performance together w/ Richard Thompson:

That wouldn't even make sense, this song has nothing to do with Pink Floyd or Roger Waters. It's a Richard Thompson cover, and a great one at that.
Agreed. I think it's wonderful.

Let me guess: It's just not the same without Roger, right?
