In the quiet silent seconds I turned out 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 poured down from a room
Come down in time, I still hear her say
So clear in my ears
Like it was today
Come down in time was the message she gave
Come down in time and I'll meet you halfway
Well, I don't know if I should have heard her as yet
But a true love like hers is a hard love to gain
And I, I walk most all the way
And I, I ain't heard her call
And I'm getting to thinking if she's
Come down in time, I still hear her say


You ain't coming at all
Come down in time, I still hear her say
So clear in my ears
Like it was today
Come down in time was the message she gave
Come down in time and I'll meet you halfway
Well, I don't know if I should have heard her as yet

There are women and women
Some hold you tight
While some leave you counting
The stars in the night
The stars in the night
