Born in Time

[Verse 1]

In the lonely night

In the blinking stardust of a pale blue light

You’re coming’ thru to me in black and white

When we were made of dreams

[Verse 2]

You’re blowing down the shaky street

You’re hearing my heart beat

In the record-breaking heat

Where we were born in time

[Verse 3]

Not one more night, not one more kiss

Not this time baby, no more of this

Takes too much skill, takes too much will

It’s revealing

[Verse 4]

You came, you saw, just like the law

You married young, just like your ma

You tried and tried, you made me slide

You left me reeling with this feeling

[Verse 5]

On the rising curve

Where the ways of nature will test every nerve

You won’t get anything you don’t deserve

Where we were born in time

[Verse 6]

You pressed me once, you pressed me twice

You hang the flame, you’ll pay the price

Oh babe, that fire

[Verse 7]

Is still smoking

You were snow, you were rain

You were striped, you were plain

Oh babe, truer words

Have not been spoken or broken

[Verse 8]

In the hills of mystery

In the foggy web of destiny

You can have what’s left of me

Where we were born in time
