Come Down In Time (Jazz Version)

In the quiet silent seconds, I

I turned off the light switch, and I

Came down to meet you in the

Half-light the moon left, while a

A cluster of nightjars sang some songs out of tune

A mantle of bright light poured 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

A true love like hers is 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

"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
