Born in Time

In the lonely night

In the stardust of a pale moonlight

I think of you in black and white

When we were made of dreams

I walked alone through the shaky streets

Listening to my heart beat

In the record-breaking heat

When we were born in time

Just when I thought you were gone, you came back

Just when I was ready to receive you

You were smooth, you were rough

You were more than enough

Ah, babe, why did I ever leave you

Or believe you?

In the rising curve

Where the ways of nature will test every nerve

I took you close and got what I deserve

When we were born in time

Just when I knew who to thank, you went blank

Just as the firelight was gleaming

You were snow, you were rain,

You were stripes and you were plain

Oh babe, can it be you've been scheming

Or was I dreaming?

In the hills of mystery

In the foggy web of destiny

You're still so deep inside of me

When we were born in time
