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 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 halfway

Well, I don't know if I should have
Heard her as yet, but a
A true love like hers is hard
A hard love to get, and I've
I've walked most all the way and I
I ain't heard her call and I'm
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 halfway

There are women and women, and
Some hold you tight while
Some leave you counting the
Stars in the night
