In the quiet silent seconds i

I turned off the light switch and i

I came down to meet you in the

Half light the moon left while a

A cluster of night jars sang some

Songs out of tune

A mantle of bright light shone

Down from the room



Come down in time

I still hear him say

So clear in my ear

Like it was today

Come down in time

Was the message he gave

Come down in time and i'll

Meet you half way



Well I don't know if I should have

Heard him as yet but a

True love like his is a

A hard love to get and i've

Walked most all the way and i

I ain't heard him call and i'm

Getting to thinking

If he's coming at all



Come down in time

I still hear him say

So clear in my ear

Like it was today

Come down in time

Was the message he gave

Come down in time and i'll

Meet you half way



There are men and men and

Some hold you tight while

Some leave you counting the

Stars in the night
