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 him say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message he gave
Come down in time and I'll meet you half way
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
And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard him call
And I'm getting to thinking if he's coming at all
There are men and men, and some hold you tight
While some leave you counting the stars in the night
