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
