Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

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
