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 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
