lifeblood: songs: lyrics: come down in time

in the quiet silent seconds i
i turned off the light switch and i
i came down to meet you in the
half light the moon left while a
a cluster of night jars sang some
songs out of tune
a mantle of bright light shone
down from the 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
a hard love to get and i've
walked most all the way and i
i ain't heard him call and i'm
getting to thinking
if he's coming at all

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

there are men and men and
some hold you tight while
some leave you counting the
stars in the night
