Am7            D             Am7                  D
In the quiet silent seconds I...I turned off the light switch,
      Cmaj7               Bm7            Dm                E7
And I...  I came down to meet you in the... half light the moon left,
        Am7              D                  Am7        D
While a... a cluster of night jars sang some... songs out of tune,
Cmaj7        Bm               Dm              E
A mantle of bright light shone.. down from a room

Chorus:
F              Em   Dm         Cmaj7
"Come down in time!", I still hear her say,
F        Em        Dm        C
So clear in my ear, like it was today,
F              G#            C           Am
'Come down in time' was the message she gave,
F             D#maj7         Dm7                F C D
'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, a true love like hers is a, a hard love to get
And I, I've walked most all the way and I, I ain't heard her call
And I, I'm getting to thinking if she's coming at all

Chorus:
"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, women and some hold you tight
While some leave you counting the stars in the night
