COME DOWN IN TIME
Elton John
Tumbleweed Connection (1970)
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
Cluster of night jars sang some
songs out of tune.
A mantel of bright light shone
Down from her 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 ours 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.
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.

@TheSlavette Hey Seattle! Longview, WA here. Have you guys taken your city back from Mother Nature yet? We only saw a few news clips of the conditions up there. At that point, snowmobiles and ski's were the mode of transportation. We got about 10" here. Our only problem was after the snow melt. The land just can't absorb any more water. Neighbors are pumping water out of their back yards. I walk away a bit muddy, but unscathed. Hope all's well. Love the song. Love his "early years" music!

There have actually been quite a few singers who have covered this lovely song. One of most notable was Judy Collins' version.

My mate from Louth,Lincolnshire,Bernie Taupin is not always fully acknowledged,love it b.t. Spilsby boy now in Bristol

One of EJ's most overlooked songs. Sting's cover is equally brilliant! If someone had any talent and brains and made another cover - it would surely be a modern hit! I think Sia could do this song justice!
-
