ERIC CLAPTON - BORN IN TIME lyrics

rate me

by Bob Dylan

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.
