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
mantle of bright light shone down from a room
 [bad word] down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today [bad word] down in time was the message she gave [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] at all
 [bad word] down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today [bad word] down in time was the message she gave [bad word] 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
