Come Down in Time
Elton John / Bernie Taupin
Universal–Songs of Polygram International Inc. (1970)
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 and a
Mantle of bright light shone
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 find and I
Walked most all the way and I
I ain't heard her call
and I'm getting to thinking
Is she 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.
There are women and women and
some hold you tight while
some leave you counting the
stars in the night.
