Come Down In Time
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album tumbleweed connection
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 & 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 & 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 & i'll meet you half way
There are women & women & some hold you tight
While some leave you counting the stars in the night
