Come Down in Time - Elton John - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Released in 1970 on Elton John's critically acclaimed album Tumbleweed Connection, “Come Down in Time” stands out as one of the most delicate and atmospheric ballads in his early catalog. Written by Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin, the song paints a haunting picture of longing and missed connection. With its poetic lyrics and ethereal melody, “Come Down in Time” tells the story of a man waiting—perhaps in vain—for a lover who may never return. Unlike the more bombastic piano-driven tracks that would later define much of Elton John’s career, “Come Down in Time” relies on subtle orchestration, including harp, oboe, and strings, creating a mood that is introspective and almost dreamlike. Bernie Taupin’s lyrics are rich in ambiguity and emotion, evoking themes of uncertainty, vulnerability, and the ache of unrequited love. Over the years, “Come Down in Time” has been covered by artists such as Sting and Glen Campbell.
