In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch 
And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left 
While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune 
A mantle of bright light shone down from a room 
 
Come down in time I still hear her say 
So clear in my ear like it was today 
Come down in time was the message she gave 
Come down in time and I'll meet you half way 
 
Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet 
But a true love like hers is a hard love to get 
And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call 
And I'm getting to thinking if she's coming at all 
 
Come down in time I still hear her say 
So clear in my ear like it was today 
Come down in time was the message she gave 
Come down in time and I'll meet you half way 
 
There are women and women and some hold you tight 
While some leave you counting the stars in the night
