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 hear 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.
