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 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 true love like hers is a hard love to get
And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call
And 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
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Il vertice creativo, picco artistico difficilmente eguagliabile. A parte la melodia sublime, notare l'arrangiamento globale degli archi e questo suono quasi medievale rendono questa canzone una meraviglia per noi dal palato fine in fatto di Musica Pop. Quando Elton era Elton John e non ancora trasformatosi in ...coccodrillo.Rock On!!!

The best song I know by Elton and probably close to perfect. Best use of a stutter-sing ever too.

Wow. Still hard to believe this song is over 40 years old. Not only high quality, but no 'datedness' , as fresh sounding today as the day it was written. What a talent is Elton John. Truly immortal.
