[Verse 1]
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, songs out of tune while
A mantle of bright light shone down from a room

[Chorus]
"Come down in time", I still hear him say
So clear in my ear like it was today
"Come down in time" was the message he gave to me
Come down in time and I'll meet you halfway

[Verse 2]
Well, I don't know if I should have heard him as yet but
A true love like his is a hard love to get at
I walked home most all the way and I ain't heard him call
I'm getting to thinking if he's coming at all

[Chorus]
"Come down in time", I still hear him say
So clear in my ear like it was today
"Come down in time" was the message he gave to me
Come down in time and I'll meet you halfway

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
There are men and men and men, some hold you tight
While some leave you counting the stars in the night

[Chorus]
"Come down in time", I still hear him say
So clear in my ear like it was today
"Come down in time" was the message he gave to me
Come down in time and I'll meet you halfway
